@davi0937 Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm hopefull that any information we can share with doctors over seas can help my uncles case. It's hard to find an MD that is willing to do this type of procedure we are also hoping we can find an altrenative route here in the states in case we are not succesful in Mexico.

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?
