During the immediate post Vietnam era, the US VA Hospital's policy was never to turn down a US veteran at it's door(s). Whilst many US business, city, county, state, etc. facilities did, along with US veterans organizations such as the VFW, American Legion, etc. (in some cases they reportedly REFUSED to allow Vietnam War vets into their organizations)...the VA Hospital (even though the waits were long and the staff could not escape the callus attitudes that prevailed in society during those times) at least the VA Hospitals still accepted the Vietnam Veteran...FREE OF CHARGE!
Today's VA Hospital might still have the policy of "never turning down a US vet at their doors." If you have your discharge papers in your hands and are claiming a service connected injury/wound/damage/etc. Then you have priority in seeing them.
If you don't have a service connected injury/wound/damage; bring your discharge papers in anyway, they'll sign you up for a specified category (longer waiting times), issue you a card, and they'll make an appointment for you.

What causes death in mantle cell lymphoma?
According to my oncologist at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, once the mantle cell lymphoma starts to spread it can migrate to the spleen where it causes the spleen to start to identify all B-lymphocytes, not just cancerous ones, as foreign and in need of being eliminated from the blood. When this happens natural immunity is lost and the body becomes subject to opportunistic infections. Death then follows.
