I’ve heard of Camp Lejeune and how ET and other blood cancers have been traced to it. Has the military acknowledged this and are they compensating individuals ? On the MPNRF site, it also mentioned electrical wiring as being suspect in the cause of ET and other MPN’s. Wonder how many other electricians have MPN.

The Government has acknowledged that the drinking water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated from 1954 to 1987. There is a long list of cancers that they acknowledge are caused by the toxins in that water. MDS is one. If you were stationed at Camp LeJeune for 30 days or more and you are diagnosed with one of the cancers on the VA list you will be eligible for medical care a d disability from the VA.
Not sure about contractors who worked at that base.
