I am one of the few that have gotten the BVA to agree that my MDS was caused by exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. It was a years long battle and my documentation is voluminous. I am more than happy to share what I have with anyone interested. I would rather fax the information but I can copy it and mail it. Impossible to email because of the size.
I hope this doesn't break any rules but you may contact me at

Don't think the battle is over. My RO in St. Petersburg had the decision sent back to them for rating. I was rated at zero percent because the VA claims not to know what MDS is and therefore rated it as anemia. I will share letters from my private oncologist, the head of the Adult Leukemia Department at John Hopkins and a professor from Harvard that I've sinced forwarded to the RO. In all three cases, the doctors (in nice words) tell the RO that they are idiots.
