Hi @reynaandriana, Welcome to Mayo Connect. As @davi0937 shared with you, many people with Myelofibrosis have had success stories with treating their disease with a bone marrow transplant, using cells from a donor.
If your uncle is a candidate for a BMT, it's not just about finding an MD to do the procedure. It's also crucial that this is done is a hospital where they routinely do bone marrow transplants so that there is a deep level of understanding for this process. It's quite complex, patients often stay in or near the transplant center for at least 100 days. Often a teaching or research hospital associated with a university in a larger city will be the best choices.
Mayo Clinic partners with certain clinics who meet their high standard of care. I’m posting a link for you with information and a map for these care facilities. I noticed there is one on Mexico but not sure if this is nearby for you. https://www.mayoclinic.org/about-mayo-clinic/care-network/network-members
Here’s the link to the hospital in Mexico https://healthtravelmexico.com/eng_index.php
Reading through your message again, are your uncle and his brother, who is a potential donor, both in Mexico?
