For the Record

I too am one of those who suffers MDS to the extent of living of "OPB".
(Other Peoples Blood)

Which is of course sufficiently not good!

Especially when added to the is the fact that I also suffer prostrate cancer, which can not be effectively treated with radiation as a result of my lack of production of white blood cells to fight the inherent lack of immunity tat the radiation treatment will create.

As a result of absolute Agent Orange exposure, the VA is of course giving the treatment for these medical conditions. For whatever that may or may not be worth to others who have developed either of these diseases.

Sincerely
