Is there a treatment of Leukemia, especially end-stage with a lot of bleeding, without blood transfusion? My father's doctor acts like there isn't. Unfortunately, my father is not one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

If you have relative which is a Jehovah's Witness, we would recommend that you get the local Hospital Liaison Committee (HLC) involved.
I have a leukemia (ALL T).
I have been put in remission in just 2 weeks with an old chemiotherapy : Oncovin (Vincristine) and cortisone.
I am waiting for someone maybe in Europe to give me a non-myeloablative or an myeoloablative stem cells transplant without blood transfusion. This is possible (see Cedar Sinaï in Los Angeles). But Ask the CLH before doing any consults.
Oh I am sorry.. I didn't have read all.. well, technics used for transplant without blood transfusion could be used :
- against l'anemia : Pediatric phlebotomy tubes, Adequate volume resuscitation , epogen,
- against bleeding : vitamine K, antifibrolytics. When platelets< 5000 : desmopressin, vasoconstrictors, factor VIII
