Last July, I had surgery for T2,N2b, Stage III tonsillar/tongue cancer. I completed my radiation on October 31st which seem an appropriate date to complete that terrible experience. I applied for VA benefits based on Agent Orange exposure and was rejected....seems that prostrate cancer and respiratory cancer are automatic but tonsillar is outside the realm of the respiratory system. Are there any other Vietnam veterans out there with advice...needless to say I plan to appeal.
