Saw two cases of SNUC<br />a cancer of nasal cavity and sinuses in two young veterans. Watch out over next five years, we may be up for our next AO with no details coming out yet. The problem with AO is the money is overspent on prostate cancer and PTSD {some of which are less lethal} while other rare but lethal cancers are left out including the case you mentioned last year.<br /><br />All they have to do is stop the waste at VA and they can cover all the real and suspected cases. The real abuse of money is done by the Universities which provide residency program training/education while charging a fortune and purchase of equipment which is not needed. The other internal abuse is, it takes three people at VA to do what it takes one person to do in competitive world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
