My dad has myelofibrosis. He just turned 64. His bone marrow no longer makes red blood for him. He is on a cancer injection 2 times a month. His spleen is large.

Dear DeannaMarie,
My mother has myelofibrosis, we found out a few months ago since her spleen was enlargened. She has just turned 49, which seems to be a young age to catch this disease. She is right now under observation, the doctors want to see which speed the disease has on her. We are hoping for a transplantation in the future, and that the disease is calm...
