Navigating the Disease
You know your body best. By working with your healthcare team, you can take an active role in your MF care. Ask your healthcare team questions, keep an eye on your symptoms, and speak up when you notice a change in your symptoms or health. Partner closely with your healthcare team to discuss MF and how often you should come in for tests and check-ups.
Medical care for MF may include:
Supportive Care Treatment
Additional treatments beyond medicine—like red blood cell transfusions—may be needed for certain symptoms of MF, like anemia or thrombocytopenia.
Medicine
Your healthcare provider may prescribe medicine to treat MF.
Bone Marrow Transplant
A bone marrow or stem cell transplant is the only cure for myelofibrosis at this time for eligible patients. A decision to have this procedure should be made with your entire healthcare team, family and caregivers.
