You are not alone. CLL Society has resources to help and can link you with other Veterans.

Some U.S. military Veterans have an increased risk of developing chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), due to environmental exposures. This includes individuals who served in or near Vietnam, the DMZ of Korea, or at Camp LeJeune during specified time periods. Also included is exposure to burn pits and other specific environmental hazards in Iraq, Afghanistan, or certain other areas. Veterans and their families may be eligible for Veterans Administration benefits, which may include disability payments, health care at little or no cost, long-term care services, support for dependents and funeral benefits.
