hi Bob!
It has been a long time since I was on forum....I continue to research and gather data to fight the battle I am discouraged and continue sometimes very slowly...I have finally found 2 studies re benzene and MDS/AA now I have to continue for Dioxin studies then I can submit them with a letter of inquiry to brind AA/MDS up to level 2 on the "presumptive illness" list. Unfortunately there are approx. 3000 AA/MDS cases registered on VA cancer registry and not 10000 total patients die from this disease a year in the USA....stokes, diabetes AML have more deaths so they win for recognition of dollars. additionally, with the current trouble the VA is in re patients dying in wait I am sure my info/case will be lost and....I will continue. Elections don't help me either...I fight the fight for those who can't or won't for the Vets and their families...hope you are well- how was hunting?,
