Couple that suffered the same cancer after using Roundup for 30 years tells ...

In 2016, Alva Pilliod was sure his wife, Alberta, was dying of the same cancer he had suffered - and now the pair is convinced they both got it from Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller, according to reporting on their testimony from Courthouse News Service.

Both Alva and Alberta testified against the company this week in one of the many ongoing lawsuits claiming that Roundup may cause cancer. 

Alva tearfully recounted watching Alberta deteriorate and suffer from non-Hodgkins lymphoma years after he'd beaten the same disease. 

Both Alberta and Alva are in remission now - but neither they nor their lives have ever been the same since the cancer attacked their bones or brains.

Neither half of the couple ever questioned what the blockbuster weedkiller might do to humans. 

They didn't suspect Roundup when Alva developed non-Hodgkins lymphoma over eight years go. 

And not even after Alberta started feeling dizzy and off balance, in the spring of 2015. 

Alberta specifically recalls putting off seeing her doctor when she first started to feel off that spring, because she'd been preparing to travel with her granddaughter to Maui, where her son lived.
