My mom is another one of these stories. I wish I was exaggerating. I bet there's still Round-up in the her garage. I've spent the last 4 years or my life have been devoted to working so I can afford her treatments and keep her around and happy.
Does anyone have any environmental attorneys they've worked with in the past they can recommend?
- RickJWagner 8y agoWow, sorry to hear this. Good luck to you and your mother.
- refurb 8y agoHow do you know Round Up caused her cancer?
- mjburgess 8y agopost hoc ergo propter hoc Background frequency of cancer? Background frequency of owning the most popular weed killer? Expected number of co-incidence?
- refurb 8y agoHow do you do that on an individual level? Even people who smoke that get cancer don’t know whether it was the smoking or not. Plenty of people who don’t smoke get lung cancer too. I’ve never seen a cause of cancer determined beyond population analyses or someone having a specific gene where the rate of cancer development is near 100%. Edit: I should also add extremely rare cancers where people have been exposed to a known causal agent. Like mesothelioma and asbestos.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoSorry to hear! I hope you find a mean ass attorney who bites the shit out of Monsanto.
- gowld 8y agoIs your mother a professional gardener? This case is about Roundup causing cancer after professional-scale in-depth exposure for decades, not use in a home garden.
