AVVA's Agent Orange Survey

This survey was brought up at today's VVA Chapter 278 meeting. It is put
out by the AVVA "... to try to find out what may be the effects of Agent
Orange on the families of Vietnam Veterans. Hopefully this can be the
early stage of scientific studies." The survey has no space available for
participants' name and address; this was done to protect medical history.
As more and more information comes out about the effects of Agent Orange on
our Veterans, it is time to learn more about the effects on said Veterans'
family. Please visit the URL below to view the survey; it will need to be
printed out to be filled out. And, of course, PLEASE pass this along ...
the more people that participate the better !

Does anyone have a list of the medical problems caused by agent orange on family members? I am interested particularly in any problems relating to bone deformities or spinal problems as my 3 sons all have problems with their backs now and the oldest is only 22.

I will try to look around for the info for you..

All 4 of my children have back problems too....(Ages are from 21 to 26)

At this time I'm fighting the VA on behalf of my husband, since we believe his cancer was caused by Agent Orange.(No one in family had cancer)..I have info talking with a few of Roger's unit from Vietnam, that there has been one death besides my husbands, and two more Marines have the same cancer as Roger...I have been working with them, that the VA hears Our Voice.........
