I was in Vietnam in 1966-1967.I worked on and flew on C-123 aircraft, many of which sprayed Agent Orange. I had Colon Cancer and had part of my Colon removed. I also had Prostate cancer and had to have my Prostate removed. I am now having Bladder issues. I was told I could not put in a claim for the Colon Cancer because it is not recognized as a presumptive disease. I was told it is now on the associated list but not yet classified Presumptive. If the Insitute recognizes it why not the VA?
