I brought a blank NEXUS form with me to the appointment with the Oncologist at the Bay Pines VA facility.
I went through my normal exam and I handed him the form when he finished.
He asked me to detail my time in S. Vietnam during 1968-1969. I gave him my entire history.
I then asked if he was familiar with the Harvard opinion letter on Agent Orange. He was well versed on it.
I then asked him about the different choices on the NEXUS form and which one would be appropriate for my situation. He thought briefly, then checked off the greater than 50/50 option saying that it best suited my condition. The appointment took well over an hour.
