Advice Please on APC caused by Chemical Exposure

[d3is4me]

Questions to any of you knowledgeable warriors on advanced PC caused by chemical exposure I was dx as "aggressive advanced"G9with mets low psa. My oncologist said i was in 3% of pc patients typical of agent Orange ,farmers, firemen Dr Mark Scholz says 1%. I believe this could be correct as i have had lots of exposure to solvents, industrial chemicals, fumes and farm chemicals during my life. [more details my profile]

Do many warriors have this PC

Does it have a specific name or type

There are quite a few studies linking association of PCa with tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, the herbicide used in Agent Orange.

Ironically, the study below shows an inverse relation of incidence with farm pesticides, but an overall increase with farming in general.

Many herbicides of the past contained dioxin, the main culprit of agent orange and any other "rainbow" defoliant. It was in commercial herbicides too. A question, did you ever have an unexpected case of acne after your teen years? If so it might not have been acne but chloracne, a clear indicator of dioxin.

U.S, Veteran Admin assumes that PC along with a number of other ailments among Vietnam War vets is attributed to Agent Orange. Disability compensation is automatic upon application.

I would say the majority of our members do not mention chemicals as the cause of their disease. But as everyone quotes "WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT (but suffer the same)".....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
