Roland, I have had lung cancer and is rated as non-service connected, but have lung cancer residuals rated as service connected (from Takhli). I filed 4 years after the lung cancer was operated on hence the rating, also once the lung cancer is operated on or considered cured there is a 0% rating. The residual(s) (or problems from the cancer) is/are what is rated and compensated. If you have issues (residuals) from the cancer file, get a doctors letter to support your claim. Look up NEXUS letters on the internet there is some great information. LouB.
