I spent nearly 10 years working in an inpatient hospital cancer unit (blood
and marrow cancers and lymphomas, not solid organ cancer), and I can tell
you a vast majority of our patients were crop farmers or from rural areas,
pocket areas, actually. The percentage far exceeded societal
demographics. It was no secret among the doctors and staff that RoundUp
exposure was a likely cause. Proven or fake news, my experience gives me
cause for concern.
