My only experience is when my husband developed MF. Myelofibrosis (MF) is a type of blood cancer that causes scarring (fibrosis) in your bone marrow and stops blood cells being produced normally. Bone marrow is the spongy material inside our larger bones where most blood cells are made.

The blood transfusion 3 pints every three weeks was a great help with his spleen and increased his energy levels. My thoughts are with you and your partner during this trying time.

Hello again Tina 22

I have boosted this thread to the top to see if there is anyone else who can help. I have no experience of blood transfusions but was wondering if the myeloma forum might be able to give you some pointers. Here is the link Myeloma forum

How are you doing?
