    RCC/agent orange

    VFWJMARTIN just read your story ,sorry and I hope that someday soon the Gov. will finally realize that AO is a factor in contributing to kidney cancer. I to am a viet nam vet, had  my right kidney removed in  Sept.2009 RCC. A 6.4 cm tumor .. Now 5 years later had MRI and WTF my left kiney showed a 2.4cm tumor ... Now Im going in for surgery on The 25th.to remove that tumor.. My dr.At the best Hospital in Mass. told me it could definately be caused by AO. I too have been denied by the VA.for dissability.. Also heard that some vets have been , with the help of a good lawyer some form of Diss.benifits..    KEEP FIGHTING BROTHER.............
