Synopsis

Veterans, particularly Vietnam vets, have a higher than average incidence of prostate cancer than the general population. The Veterans Administration designated prostate cancer as an Agent Orange disease and provides disabilities for those who qualify. Also, a study of vets who underwent radical surgery for prostate cancer at a VA hospital had a much higher rate of recurrence than others who underwent this procedure. The VA has programs to assist veterans with prostate cancer both financially and with medical care, depending on the vet's individual circumstances. This book provides the reader with basic information about the disease, types of treatment available, and possible assistance that may be available from the VA. The journey from diagnosis to treatment to getting assistance from the VA is a long one that requires much fortitude. This book aims to serve as a guide along that road.
