My husband was in Nam in 1966-67 and was in the areas heavily sprayed with Agent Orange. He bathed in it and drank it and no pill to make your drinking water safe would probably makes it safe. He was contacted by the Marine Corp years ago and is listed on the Agent Orange registry. His oncologist seems certain that AO is the cause of his BOT cancer since my husband never smoked and barely drank. I don't know if they checked for HPV when they did the biopsy but since I just tested negative for HPV I would doubt that this is the problem. And no he doesn't mess around. So I believe AO could definitely be the cause, look at the onset dates of cancer for all of you. Coincidence?
