Brother has RARE CANCER - Post Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis

My Brother Micheal has a rare blood cancer Post ET Myelofibrosis or POST ET MF / a deadly wasting disease of bone marrow cancer. His only potentially curative treatment is a bone marrow stem cell transplant (done). He had full body radiation and lost his hair. In support of him - I’m taking donations to help him out. The transplant and recovery process will is incredibly difficult. Micheal requires full-time care, and his initial road to recovery will take 3-6 months, he will be diminished for at least a year and will have ongoing treatment for a lifetime. He will be at the Mayo Clinic Phoenix, Arizona for 4-6 months maybe longer (only time will tell) - In return for your donation - The HIGHEST $$$ DONATION will have the opportunity to shave my head (Done) at Parrots Bar and Grill in St Peter’s MO. 27 June 2025 @ 7:00pm. Even though my head has been shaved ( see photos above) I’m still going to raise more funds to help his family. Many thanks Timothy

*Venmo is a option for donation payment

about this rare cancer:

Post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis

(Post-ET MF) is a rare blood cancer that develops as a complication of essential thrombocythemia (ET). In ET, the bone marrow produces too many platelets, and in some cases, this can progress to Post-ET MF, where the bone marrow develops scarring (fibrosis) and stops producing blood cells properly. This scarring can lead to the formation of blood cells outside the bone marrow (extramedullary hematopoiesis) and various symptoms. *
