My husband passed away from this cancer 2/1/01 at the age of 51.He served active duty in vietnam from 1967-1968 living on a riverboat. He was diagnosed aug 01 and was given 2 weeks to 6 months to live. At the time we were raising our granddtr and I tried to receive va benefits for herand was told the va did not look at this as service related "but to check back later" It seems there are more cases turning up.
