Good morning Janetlen,
I will let him know and thank you for your service! My dad was in the Army and served two tours in Vietnam. Thank you for the information about the Community Care referral program, as no one has mentioned that to us yet. We were told the only two VA Hospital's that complete BMT are in Nashville and Seattle (that is if he's deemed eligible). The Madison VA Hospital is literally connected to UW Hospital where they perform BMT. My mother said, "The US government can send him across an ocean to fight their war but can't send him down a hallway for a BMT." The only medical care (insurance) he has is through the VA; however, he has "hospital coverage" through Medicare. Not sure if that makes a difference? I agree about "Dr Google", that is why I figured getting into a support group and speaking to people that are going through or have gone through this to be much better.
