I am the caregiver for my 78 year old husband. He was exposed to agent orange in Vietnam. Is there anyone in the group in a similar situation? He was diagnosed 5 or more years ago, and is on a steady decline. Just wanting to chat with others in the same situation.

    Hi: I'm a 100% disabled Vet. If you apply for VA disability they can determine has much is from Agent Orange. The VA has counselors that might be able to help you. If not, you can always reach out to me.
