Cmml 1

My husband has been diagnosis with CMML 1. We are trying to connect with Agent Orange when he served in Vietnam. He was in the Navy boots on the ground. He did two tours. Can any one help us connect it? I want the VA to pay for it. Had another Bone marrow biopsy on 12/30/15. Confirmed CMML 1. Thanks for any help.

Candy,
Have you contacted your nearest VA? They will help you and in my experience they are very good. I went through this about two months ago. Filled out the forms and got an appointment with an excellent MD. They even pay gas money for your visit. Give them a call. In my case I am very doubtful that Agent Orange caused my MDS, but I wanted to get into their data base.

p.s. I was in Vietnam in 70-71 with U.S. Army Infantry.
