Hi my dad got diagnosed with myelofibrosis last year and has recently been receiving blood transfusions. Although recently these haven't been helping. We spoke to the haematologist today who says he has a few months left most. He has lost a lot of weight and we decided at his age if 85 that the chemo would not be beneficial due to the side effects and his co-morbidities of copd etc. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar diagnosis and has any suggestions on how to improve his quality of life as he's now having fortnightly transfusions and is really poorly. My daughter suggested soursop as an alternative therapy, the haematologist said it won't harm but looked pretty unhopeful.
