Thanks Gents

Thanks for the response Ladies/Gents.

I still have my (old) inoculations card but there is nothing on it for this time.
All I remember of it is queuing up in the movements hangar at Bruggen and getting at least two jabs in my left arm (one straight after the other).


Don't remember any ill effects at the time but when I was diagnosed in December 2004 the hospital carried out a survey on my medical history.
When I Informed them of my service in the first Gulf War alarm bells started ringing and I was told that I wasn't the first Vet they had seen with this type of illness (albeit it a different type of Lymphoma).

As I am still serving I am lead to believe that I cannot take any further action until I leave the service next year (as I haven't been offered further service because of my condition (which is in remission) .

P.S. I didn't take NAPS.

Once again thank you for your responses.
