My husband just last year had a cancerous brain tumor removed. He was give a prognosis of 6 mo. to a year. We are almost at the year mark.
He was stationed on a ship from 1970 and on and off through his whole 30 years in. They flew into Nam and picked up the wounded and dead. There were also Marines stationed on the ship, going into and coming back to the ship. He alwas over during the Gulf war. I have been told and read that AO can be transfered from person to person, by touching of clothes. He was also exposed to lead base paint and asbestosis. We have tried for VA bennies (100%) and got turned down. I am wondering if there is anyone else out there that has had a loved one with the brain tumors that served our country. I am trying to fight the VA, and it is a long hard battle. So if anyone else has had this issue with a brain tumor, please contact me. Maybe we can work together to fight this. He has also had a hearing loss, due to jet engines and has lumps all over his body that you can see from the surface, some are huge and others not as large. I do know that we have to get a AO phsycial. We have sent in all his Dr. reports and concerns, and they just said that brain cancer (tumors) are not on the list. Can anyone help? thank you.
