The above is all very well but one of my old flying comrades has just
died from advanced cancer. Charlie Hubbs was a Ranch Hand pilot. He
was one of the baseline study groups and then - started falling apart.
FWIW four of us from DaNang, all of the same period, all came down
with prostate cancer within three months of each other. Must have been
something about the water . . .After 7800 rads six years ago I'm still
around but life is not the same . . .

Saw a great line regarding radiation therapy a while back--"it's the

I am trying to figure out if the VA is doing right by veterans in this
area. My wife is a VA physician and I teach agent orange in my class.
I just finished a stint at the National Cancer institute on cancer
screening research

Any comments welcome
