Lung Cancer Awareness

Possibly one or both of the parents had been exposed to either cigarette smoke or other dangerous chemicals.
During Military training and service in the Vietnam War many were exposed either directly or indirectly with Agent Orange (and other colours in Vietnam) There were many who died from Liver Cancer. I personally knew one who had trained interstate didn't serve overseas. Several others in his Division also died from Liver Cancer. His wife campaigned to get public moral support to get the message home to the Commonwealth Govt. She got a lot of responses from other widows, children, grandparents etc. whose relatives had also been exposed and had already passed away or were suffering terminal Liver Cancer...or in a few cases Leukenia. One of my friend's mates served in Vietnam and has been fighting Leukemia since within 3 years of returning from Vietnam. He goes into remission for a year or so then flares up again. When we were taling about his condition he said that Orange wasn't the only colour that was used. He was given a Medical Discharge and later managed to get a good job. He has since retired because he can't work because of constant bouts of illness, partly because he can't re-build him immune system enough, despite a lot of different things including herbs he has tried.
