My farther was diagnosed with Myelofibrosis in 2013 at the age of 46! He had a stem cell transplant at the beginning of 2014, from stem cell donation from his brother. Unfortunately at the end of 2016 we where told that my farther had a relapse, the bone marrow transplant had not been success. Myelofibrosis is a serious bone marrow disorder that disrupts your body's normal production of blood cells.
