The Board granted service connection for breast cancer on a presumptive basis as a reproductive cancer, and also granted service connection for bone cancer as secondary to the now service-connected breast cancer.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's breast cancer is covered under the PACT Act, and her bone cancer developed as a result of treatment for her service-connected breast cancer.
