Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL) is a rare form of blood cancer that affects a small percentage of the population. Understanding the potential link is crucial if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with HCL and have had significant exposure to Roundup.
This article explores the symptoms of HCL, its impact on health, the possible connection to glyphosate exposure, recent lawsuit updates, and how affected individuals can seek legal assistance.
Hairy Cell Leukemia is a rare cancer that works on B cells, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight illness. The disease is named for the abnormal, hair-like projections on the surface of the leukemia cells when viewed under a microscope. HCL progresses slowly and can lead to severe complications if left untreated.
HCL symptoms can often be mistaken for other conditions, challenging early diagnosis. Common symptoms include:
