simplyamom,
Did your husband develop any ailments due to AO?
I would say that it is definitely possible that AO had something to do with your son's developing MDS, but proving it may be harder to do...
If I were you I would be doing a lot of internet research...
I did come across an older gentleman at Sloan Kettering who was exposed to AO in 'nam and developed leukemia, at the VA Hospital, they kept telling him it was just anemia... He said it was a good thing he didn't listen to them for more that a year...
Good luck to you and your son, and God Bless...
