I'm now being treated for my second cancer related to being stationed their for 1 1/2 years
This one Is far more serious.
When I had my first cancer the dept of the navy said they would pay nothing ,but thankfully Obama stepped in and helped .so we can now get the care and in some cases a disability

1957-1987.
And then on to 2012.

Hope you get well.
Semper Fi .

Hear is a link to give a little background on the subject and a list of cancers and illnesses associated with the drinking water at the base.
I have had two of the cancers listed this one is bladder cancer soon I will have it removed
Due to the meds I have taken the last 10 years my kidneys are in bad shape so I can't do chemotherapy.
