Yes I was diagnosed about a year ago with Myelofibrosis. I was told that a transplant would kill me. I am 75 now. I thought I was in good health when I was diagnosed.

Doctors frequently have to make difficult decisions for the best outcome of their patient’s health. They are always weighing risk vs reward. Some procedures or treatments may place a patient in a position of greater risk where the doctor may feel it isn’t the best option for them.

You might want to approach your doctor and ask for yourself; If I know the risks and are willing to accept them, would be you be willing to proceed with a transplant? Have you considered a second opinion?
