Catherine, Your Dad's experience illustrate the problem it is for the Veteran's Administration trying to decide if Vietnam (agent orange) was the cause for their MDS or AML. I know I was exposed to considerably more carcinogens (second hand smoke, exhaust, chemicals etc.) following my time in Vietnam. A great many in Vietnam smoked cigarettes which is considered a primary cause for MDS. Then also, MDS might just be the "luck of the draw".
