Bile Duct Cancer

On June 9th of 2005 the VA in Indianapolis told my husband and myself that he might have cancer. on July 31st they told us that it was bile duct cancer. He had sugery on Aug. 16th and Died in the VA on Aug 19th. The death wasn't the bile duct it's self it was due to the VA letting him bleed to death. I have contatected a lady that got the award for her husband for Bile duct from the VA. It was a deal where the VA didn't know if he had cancer or not so they say and then when they did confirm it it came from the Indianapolis IU hospital. Now that I think back the VA knew that he had cancer but didn't want to acknolege it. I have an appeal in and will keep on top of it till I have no resorces to fight with.

My husband died 1-4-08 of cancer.  The VA did a biopsy and said that it could possibly be from the bile duct but that they couldn't really tell.  He had been in Vietnam in 70-71 and I believe thay they know that's it was from being over there but they won't say that.  How did you go about what you are doing?  Please write back.
