Any references for chemicals and CLL

Hi Robert, and a warm welcome to this forum.

I personally do not know of any links between chemicals and CLL but a quick search of this forum did find a couple of posts which may help answer your question. They are:-

Common chemicals may increase cancer risk

CLL and solvents

Hope these are of some help.

Take care

I am a firm believer that our disease is attributed to the chemicals we are around, the toxins we breathe and the crap in our food today like pesticides on fruit and vegetables as well as hormones in the meat.

No causation.. just increase statistical risk...

I just say your other post...

They were trying to get compensation for Aerospace workers, perhaps 10 years ago... I think it was a union effort.. you would need to research it...

Most of theses things hit road blocks... unfortunately...

I was diagnosed with neuropathy and myelopathy in 1994 due, possibly to organophosphate sheep dips. Then in 2004 I was diagnosed with CLL and ITP. As far as I know there is no causative link.

Hi there. I was a hairdresser for over 25 years and worked with different chemicals. I have read that there is a link to these particular chemicals and CLL.

Even WHMIS lists hairdressers as being at risk of developing leukaemia.

Other factors in my life due to unrelated health issues over the years, I have had very many CT scans and X-Rays done.

I truly believe the combination of these two factors probably played a part in the development of this disease.

Hi Robert. I have an accepted workers compensation case in relation to my CLL. My best advice for getting a claim accepted is to have medical doctors or academics support your claim. I found that any study I found was worthless in the eyes of the board I was appealing to. But a doctor's opinion carries much weight. Best of luck.
