Husband served in vietnam in 1966 1967 exposed to agent orange. 4years ago diagnosed with stomach cancer had 3/4 of stomach removed.cancer in lung?

Possible/see Dr.: He might get cancer in the lung or anywhere else from this or other agents, especially if he inhaled it. However, if there are no clear symptoms, like cough and fatigue and difficulty getting enough breath, or signs, like a nodule on x ray, it is very hard to say he has this. The best course of action would be for him to see his doctor to discuss this and decide upon the best follow up.

Not sure why u ask.: Is his gastric CA in remission? Does he have any respiratory symptom? Any other risk factor for lung CA like smoking? I would assume he still sees an oncologist who keeps an eye on the possibility of recurrence of his stomach CA or development of second cancers like lung. If your ? is, can he get it? The answer is yes, it is possible. Please thank him for his service and best to both.
