Sorry to hear that your father has MDS but you are searching in the right spot. I am kind of in his shoes. I was in Vietnam also and was diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer. The treatment for prostate cancer was high dose rate brachytherapy. I am trying to get the docs to classify my MDS as secondary to radiation, i.e., treatment for prostate cancer. I haven't seceded yet but I haven't given up.
Best of luck to your dad and please pass on my thanks for his service.
