Q: Advice Needed

My nana was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia about 4 weeks ago. She is 86 and they have told her that they cannot give her chemo. She is having blood transfusions every 2 weeks or so and now she needs platelets too. The last time she went in for a transfusion the doctor told her that her bone marrow is no longer producing any red blood cells at all. Could anyone tell me what this means? I know that I need to prepare for the worst but this is not a development that any of our family were expecting. Please help I am so so worried about her.
