What are treatments for myelofibrosis?

Welcome to Connect, @tamijulien. At this time, a stem cell transplant remains the only possibility for a cure with certain blood cancers like Myelofibrosis. I had a transplant for AML five years ago. I feel amazingly fit and healthy…best yet, being cancer free for 5 years!
It is a long, challenging process but quite a few of us in the forum have had a bone marrow/stem cell transplant and we’re all here to help you through your journey when ready.

Is there any specific information I can help you with?

Hi Lori,
Thanks for making contact with me.
At this time I am waiting on a call from the hospital that is looking after my case. Once i have my initial visit, I know that i will have lots of questions. So in the meantime, I am browsing other people's posts to get an idea of what the procedures are...thanks

I am Phase I (no fibrosis yet), and my Dr has recommended Interferon. There is some evidence that it prevents disease progression in some patients. I have not yet started treatment (I was just diagnosed 12/16) but am likely going to try this course of treatment. Pegasus is approved for use in MF patients, Besremi is in clinical trials.
