I have what is called pancytopenia which means all of my blood counts are extremely low. I believe it was caused by agent orange exposure. I am going to a cancer for about 13 years but the counts are somewhat stable. I know if I get a cold for a few days my doctors what me on antibiotics. Luckily don’t get sick very often. I have not approached the VA for care. I am on VA disability and I am thinking of going to Mayos for a complete checkup/physical.

@harleewine one of the problems I have found with VA is the turnover of providers. Its difficult trying to get treatment stability when theres always someone new to see (or a student). If I could get into Mayo, I wouldnt hesitate. Over yeats VA has caused more damage to me than they have fixed. Good luck
