    Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma with complication after chemo. Exposure to PCBs and in my apt, exposure to asbestos. I have been in apt for over 20 years.

    What say you?

      Hi Peter, I'm sorry to hear about all you've been through. My first question would be have you been to a doctor who has diagnosed a connection between your exposure to PCBs and/or asbestos? It sounds like you may well have had exposure to asbestos over a long period of time, but truly a doctor would need to make a diagnosis regarding that. You may also want to submit your details for an experienced asbestos lawyer to review. You may do so at no charge by filling out the form here.

      While running an incinerator in 95 the air tubes had been flooded with plastics for months down there and there may have been complications due to PCB's getting released into the environment my own problems with having a psychosis may be related to exposure to such chemicals which the company has never admitted to as well as my family showed any desire to question former friends and relatives about. my brother in law got lyphnoma after working for a relative of those same bosses and he still has never tried to sue just like he has never tried to help me sue Paragon trade brands either.

    My father worked at Monsanto for his entire career, from the age of 18-58. He started as an industrial chemist them in later years moved into management roles. He used to bring bottles of round-up home all the time and lather his veggie garden with the stuff. He now has non-hodgkens lymphoma (studies link round-up to this disease). Does anyone know of any class action suits against Monsanto/Round-up?

    i to have been diagnosed with non-hodgkens lymphoma and treated with chemo. i have worked as a painter/drywall finisher for over 40 years. i do think asbestos has a great deal to do with my condition. my father was diagnosed with an asbestos related disease back in the 70's. he too was a painter/drywall finisher as well.

      I lost my dad as well to Non Hodgkins lymphoma in 2000. He became sick a few months before he passed away. Lack of energy, shortness of breathe, and a rash on his chest. He went to the hospital and within a week passed away. The doctors couldn’t figure out why he was so sick and eventually diagnosed him a day or two before he passed. They said it was a rare aggressive form of lymphoma, which they had never seen before. Nothing about his situation made sense and his symptoms didn’t sound like lymphoma, so I wasn’t willing to accept their diagnosis. My father worked for the Asbestos company for many years, and then became an insulator working for our local Asbestos Company # 27. I was not aware of any lawsuits or issues linked to asbestos when he passed. My dad worked for the Asbestos company for many, many years. I remember seeing a ton of commercials several years after he passed, but because he was diagnosed with lymphoma, they weren’t willing to take his case on, but encouraged me to do further research. I have found multiple sources linking or doctors misdiagnosing people with Hodgkins lymphoma, when its really mesothelioma. Multiple people developed rashes and died, but we could never locate those families to find out what they were diagnosed with. There are more and more studies are finding links from mesothelioma and non-Hodgkins lymphoma and the misdiagnosis from doctors. Have you found out anything on your end?

    My brother in law got cancer in 2000 and almost died, He worked for a close relative for years using asbestos, he never sought a settlement, I worked for some of their relatives in 95 in Harmony Pa and was continually exposed to potash and dioxins running an incinerator and for at least two months at one time the air tubes had flooded spewing out a lot of chemicals which are known to make depression worse and well as cause skin irritations.

    My mother died of Non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2007. Last year it was confirmed our family home contains loose fill Amosite Asbestos fibres which are now floating throughout the house. It is very scary not knowing what will happen to all of us that have been exposed. Governments need to take responsibility, they allowed individuals and companies to use these products. So sorry for everyone’s loss and unnecessary suffering.

    Do not bother to ask Oncologists/Hematologists as I doubt they will pay attention to you as I doubt they care what caused your NHL ? One cause I know !

    My father worked as a Boilermaker and Turbiner at an oil refinery in PA for more than 40 years. Also worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad for more than 5 years. He was exposed to Asbestos for his entire working career. Upon retirement he was diagnosed with Primary Gastric Lyphoma. His death certificate lists the cause of death as Metastatic Lyphoma. I am actively seeking copies of his health records. Fast forward to today: A law firm in Alabama advertised in our local newspaper (Media, PA) that special trusts have been set-up by vendors and suppliers of the Sun Oil Refinery to pay asbestos victims. My father would qualify as a victim. They are requesting that I provide medical information, history, pathology reports and any autopsy reports to the law firm. Since my Father passed away in 1976, I have been unable to provide any medical evidence of his illness. It’s interesting that the law firm only wants to hear from responders that worked at Sun Oil before 1982, which makes it nearly impossible to obtain his records. The workers that were exposed to asbestos were construction workers that worked enormously hard with their mind and bodies. They probably did not give the maintenance of medical records a high priority. I am hoping you can provide any guidance as how I can go forward with gathering medical evidence of his illness. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.
