What Does Frequent Blood Transfusion When Suffering From Pancreatic Cancer Indicate?

My dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic Cancer 6 months ago. He s 84 years old. He s been doing blood transfusion the last 6 months. At first it was every 3 months then every 3 weeks then every 3 days. Does that mean there s internal bleeding happening?
