Has anyone had heart issues with myelofibrosis?

Only Six months between amputations. His feet were swollen more than twice or three times their normal size and an infection set in. Happened over about a year. He was in awful pain. He lived about 5 years after the double amputation in the DVA hospital. (His death was not related to the atherosclerosis. Instead it was prostate cancer that had metastasized and was in his bones.)

Oh my goodness, your poor dad! I can’t even imagine the pain he must have gone through with the infection and amputations, then his cancer journey.
It appears he was a veteran so I’m very grateful for his service to our nation but also incredibly sorry for his and your loss. What a courageous man…
Thank you for sharing your father’s story. I hope you have many fond memories of your life together. They don’t take away the sadness or loss but they can help hold those we’ve loved and lost close to us.
