Hairy Cell Leukemia
Generally speaking, leukemia is a very hard disease to treat. Since it does not reside in one spot in the body but in bone marrow and blood cells throughout it, surgery is not a treatment option. Radiation and chemotherapy are the best options, but it is still a hard disease to fight.
Of all the kinds of leukemia, hairy cell leukemia is considered the most treatable. Drug treatments have been shown to be highly effective, and the disease is rarely life-threatening unless left untreated. However, these treatments are costly, and you may need to miss work while recovering from the disease.
At the Benzene Leukemia Legal Help Project, we're here to help make sure that people get the assistance they need when dealing with hairy cell leukemia. Benzene is a common chemical found in gasoline and in most chemical manufacturing industries, and has been linked to many kinds of leukemia. Unfortunately, many health care plans are reluctant to treat leukemias, claiming that the possible genetic basis of the disease makes it a "pre-existing condition."
If you believe that benzene exposure may have caused your hairy cell leukemia, you may be entitled to compensation. Each year, many workers and citizens successfully sue irresponsible companies for exposing them to this potent carcinogen. To find out if you may be entitled to a settlement to cover medical bills or living expenses, call us--it's toll-free, so you've got nothing to lose. If you have a case, we can set you up with a top-notch legal team who can help you receive compensation.
