Yes. Blood group changes in malignant transformations. This is common with cancer patients.♥

In theory, yes.
If your bone marrow is wiped out by chemotherapy, and you are given a bone marrow transplant of a different blood group, plus immunosuppressive therapy to stop rejection, then you would, for a while, have a different blood group. Your original blood group would begin to return if and when your own marrow grew back. It is not likely to remain permanently changed.
Generally, though, bone marrow needs to be blood group compatible, at least for the significant blood groups like ABO, Rhesus, Kell etc, but not all blood groups will necessarily cause rejection.
Hope this helps

No, and even if it was changed in cancer patients, it isn't completely changed. Cancer cells always contain the stem cells from which they were formed in the first place. Just like if you have a smooth muscle cancer, and it matastisizes and spreads to your lungs, the cancer on the lungs will still contain smooth muscle cells. So, no, your blood group cannot change. The girl above is incorrect, she misunderstood the effects of Rhogam on women.

Depends on how you're testing. If you're testing only blood... then, suppose your patient was type A Rh+, had leukemia, and got a total bone marrow transplant from someone whose blood was type O Rh-.
I'd expect that after a few months, his blood would appear to be type O Rh-.

No, your blood group is determined by your genes, and never changes. And if it somehow did, your body would be unable to recognize the new blood cells as part of your body, so your immune system would attack your own blood, and you'd die pretty quickly.

Yes, if a mother who is Rh negative is having a baby, and the baby is Rh Positive, the mother will be given special drugs to prevent any harmful side effects to the baby. This can change the Rh Factor of the baby's blood.
