Mesothelioma & Veterans
Veterans comprise approximately 30 percent of all mesothelioma diagnoses due to asbestos-contaminated products that were used by the military, primarily by the Navy, from the 1930s through the 1970s. Pleural mesothelioma can be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Mesothelioma life expectancy depends on a number of factors. Unfortunately, asbestos-related diseases are not always recognized by the VA, which is why we’ve dedicated a portion of our website with information that can assist those affected by asbestos-related diseases in order to help them file for VA benefits.
My recent (Dec. 2007) two-week journey throughout Vietnam proved to be an amazing experience largely due to the excellent arrangements made by a tourist office in Hue City managed by Nguyen Thi Dieu Van at
34 NGUYEN TRI PHUONG STREET
HUE CITY , VIETNAM

I would highly recommend her service to U.S. veterans and their families. Van speaks excellent English and is dedicated to making every facet of your visit a memorable one. Van's familiarity with the former U.S. military outposts along the old DMZ makes her particularly helpful to those who served in that area. Email:dieuvan73@yahoo.com
