Bill Schweitzer - Merkal Cell Cancer
Dear Bill, I to have had Merkal Cell back in 1997. I'm currently cancer free since then. I spent seven months in a hospital during my treatment. Just recently I was denied disability for agent orange but my oncoligist sent a letter in which he believes my Merkal cell cancer was due to my exposure to agent orange.You can contact me at gebben@tds.net. I hope this correspondence finds you in good health, Greg

Hello Bill and Greg,
i am curious as to whether the VA has agreed to the connection between Merkel Cell and Agent Orange? I recently was diagnosed with Merkel Cell and I wondered about the exposure factor.
Thanks,
Jackie

Hello to the group. Allow me to enter my information to help prove that Mercal Cell Carcinoma should be added to the list of illnesses caused by Agent Orange. I was in Nam from 12/70 to 12/71. In 2015 I was diagnosed with a Mercal Cell carcinoma at my left arm pit and two locations across my left clavical. Went through all three treatments (Chemotherapy, Surgery and Radiation).
In 2016 the VA denied my claim. In 2022 they have denied it again. Now I am attempting to gather enough information to make an appeal worth the effort. I am with you all in your belief that there are too many of us that have experienced this cancer for Agent Orange not to be a contributing factor.
My Best to you all,
Richard L. Sheppard
