Child has cancer & wonder about connection

Question:

Hi Jim. My husband was in Vietnam in 1970 and when he came home, I got pregnant. The daughter was diagnosed in October with a brain tumor that is cancer. She is the only one of my children born after he came back. The tumor was a slow growing tumor that has been there 30+ years. She has had radiation and is still doing chemo. I am looking for connections of anyone's child having the same thing as a result of Agent Orange. . If you have any knowledge of where I can look, would you please let me know?

Jim's Reply:

VA only recognizes a single agent orange connected disabling condition of children of Vietnam veterans...spina bifida. If you believe that there may be a connection in your case, you'll have to prove it. I'm not aware of any similar cases so you'll need to use Google search to find any similar circumstances. Good luck.
