Anyone develop prostate cancer after serving on EC121 Radar Planes?

Posted by jc76 @jc76, Jun 4, 2025

Many of us developed prostate cancer that served on EC121 Radar Planes. I spent 4,300 hours sitting on top of search radar and above from height finder radar.

I am wondering if this would qualify for exposure that would qualify under the new PACT VA compensations?

I am curious of others on MCC who have served on the Radar Connie have come down with prostate cancer?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

As recommended by colleagues here, file a disability claim with the VA. It costs you nothing but the time, and the PACT Act seems to have changed the nature of the VA with respect to how it looks at disabilities. The VFW provides no costs assistance with VA claims, whether you are member or not. Visit your local VFW post and discuss your specific situation with a VFW service officer.
