Question:
Search function is not working so, I am undergoing external beam radiation (45 treatments) and hormone treatment (6 months) for prostate cancer. At what point will VA consider treatment complete, for reevaluation of disability purposes? Will it be the end of radiation or the end of hormone treatment?
Jim's Reply:
VA isn't consistent when this treatment pattern comes about. They should wait until the hormone treatment is completed but all too often, they don't. If you're called in early for an exam, go ahead and go to it and explain that you're still under treatment. Attending the exam is important even though it may not be convenient.
