I just reread the question and I see you were asking about a transplant. I have not had one but I was told last year I needed one. A lot has transpired since then and now I’m not even sure if I’m still a candidate or if I really want to go through the process. If you want to hear others experiences, there is a Facebook group called Myelofibrosis Private Support group that you can sign up for.

I’ve had five BMB’s, the first being in 2008 when I was diagnosed with ET Jak 2. It was done in the doctors office, was over quickly, and I was able to drive home on my own. The next four were done in the hospital starting in 2019. I was lightly sedated, but my bones had become more fibrotic overtime and it was not so easy. But I’m glad I had them because they give so much more information than a blood test.
