Yes, R’s myelofibrosis is back just 7 months after his bone marrow stem cell transplant. We are waiting on final results from his most recent bone marrow biopsy but what we know so far is—R’s cancer cells have resurfaced in a big way.
The team at Fred Hutch plans to give him infusions of a chemo med called Azacitidine. Depending on his body’s response they might give him a boost of donor cells, too.
No one will talk to us about prognosis. And perhaps that’s best. Focus on the things we can impact and don’t waste too much precious energy on things we cannot.
