Agent Orange And Bone/marrow Cancer Posted: 08-23-07 07:34am
I have written many agencies and medical
offices trying to find some information.
My husband was in the Air Force and did
two tours in Viet Nam stationed on the
front lines as a weather observer. The
weather observation area was on the flight
path surrounded by fuel and
chemicals...Agent Orange and others. The
bladders leaked, personnel spilled fuels
and chemicals, etc.
Approximately 15 years ago my husband
could no longer produce testosterone, he
later developed adult onset diabetes,
neuropathy, hypertension, had to have
stents in his heart. The most recent
developments are ones that I am trying to
research with little luck...within the
last 11 months he has developed both
hypotension and bradycardia. The
cardiologist says the EKG, stress test and
holter monitor do not show anything he is
concerned about.
My father was in Nam for 2 tours, died at
age 60 after 2 1/2 years of declining
health. He looked 80 years old. He was
told he had Wegener's Granulomotosis, his
kidneys failed, he could no longer produce
red blood cells. His first heart attach
was at age 46, he developed diabetes
before his death. The cause of death on
his death certificate is hypotension.
I would appreciate any information or
leads you can provide regarding other
veteran's experiencing hypotension,
bradycardia, any reports or studies that
have any information at all would be most
appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hi!
I found some informations about scientific
evidence regarding associations between
health outcomes and exposure to chemical
compounds in herbicides used in Vietnam.
Scientists say that there is inadequate
or insufficient evidence to determine
whether an association exists between
exposure to herbicides and the bone cancer
and circulatory disorders and limited
evidence for type 2 diabetes. There are
some other health conditions that are
involved, but you were interested in these
once.
Hope I helped a bit!
