Below is a map illustrating the heaviest areas sprayed in Vietnam by the United States Air Force. The color orange represents the heaviest concentrations. The map is not drawn to scale, but is to give a person a general understanding where the heaviest spraying took place. This map does not indicate areas that were sprayed by helicopters or by other means of distributing Agent Orange and other chemical defoliants .

| It has come to my attention that Renal (Kidney) Cancer is usually asymptomatic and is found coincidently when doctors are searching for answers to resolve another health problem.
As Vietnam Veterans, we were all exposed to Agent Orange and other chemical defoliants that contained dioxins. Dioxins have been scientifically proven to cause cancer of human organs, including the kidney.
I am asking all Vietnam Veterans to talk to their doctors about getting a CT scan to check for this potentially dangerous life threatening disease. Being asymptomatic, most people will not show any signs of being ill however, about 40% of the cancer patients had some pain in their lower back on either their left or right side, just over the kidney. If the belt that you are wearing is hurting your back have your doctor order a CT scan for you immediately.
Renal Cancer is one of the health problems that the VA has listed as "Inadequate/Insufficient Evidence to Determine Whether an Association Exists" for Agent Orange.
The Government paid for a 20 year study (Operation Ranch Hand) and now some experts are saying this study was seriously flawed from the beginning. I am not an expert on this subject but you can check it out on the internet and make your own informed opinion. I just wonder why they didn't study any infantry units in III Corps. Infantry soldiers did not change their clothes every day or take a daily shower. It would be weeks before they would get a change of clothes and a month for a shower. III Corps was the heaviest sprayed area in Vietnam, especially in 1969. Agent Orange II (Super Orange which had double the dioxin) was used in 1968 and1969 in South Vietnam.

Veterans Please check with your family physician. Make use of the medical technology that we have available to help save your life. It requires a simple scan that could catch this cancer in the earliest stages BEFORE it grows. Without symptoms, there are no warning signs. Get checked.
