On March 1st when taken to the doctor Jessen had a fever and extremely high blood pressure. They were sent immediately over to the hospital for him to be admitted. He had x-rays done and an ultrasound of his abdomen, which showed a mass with a blood supply to it. After more scans/tests he was diagnosed with High Risk Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. The tumor is wrapped around his left kidney and the cancer has spread to his bones. As of now, June 12, 2013, Jessen has had multiple tests/scans, 2 bone marrow biopsies, a biopsy of the tumor which resulted in an incision across the entire front of his abdomen, placement of a Broviac central line in his chest, a stem cell harvest, 5 rounds of chemotherapy, and multiple blood and platelet transfusions.
