Hello Fernando, I was in Vietnam 70'-71' and have MDS/AML. The problem is that there are so many possible causes of our blood diseases that it is very difficult to pin point one cause such as AO. I know I was exposed to probably hundreds of chemicals after Vietnam that could have easily influenced my diagnosis. As far as the VA, it was when I could put Vietnam, agent orange, stem cell transplant and leukemia in the same sentence that they decided to rate me as disabled. I wish you the best in finding as much information as possible.
