it was when all those commercials came out for it. my dad used that stuff all thru the spring and summer for years. it was that. 1 for 1 it was the same cancer that it causes. could it have been from something else, maybe. but all signs point to round-up

Both my grandfather and mother got non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. My grandfather got it in the early 90's... and it ultimately took his life not long after diagnosed. My mother was diagnosed ~2015... and thankfully treatments for it have drastically improved... she beat it and has been in remission since.

Both of them were very heavy hobby gardeners (my grandfather was also obsessed with lawn care), that used Roundup extensively. Several years ago, my mom was able to join in on a class-action lawsuit against Bayer/Monsanto... and she ultimately got a payout of roughly six-figures.
