@wellness3070, there seems to be a range of treatments offered to people with myelofibrosis besides medication: blood transfusions, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery to remove the spleen (splenectomy), bone marrow transplant. Have you and your doctor discussed any one of these as a possibility?

Hi, Aware of other treatments, but nothing other than Jakafi B.I.D.is now treatment of choice. Anemia and leg weakness still chronic problem.
