Overview
- Jensen was diagnosed with severe aplastic anaemia, which left his bone marrow unable to produce enough blood cells.
- He required weekly blood and platelet transfusions while doctors searched for a compatible stem-cell match.
- Only three suitable donors were identified, with the best match a 24-year-old man in Germany under a two-year no-contact policy.
- He has reached the 100-day post-transplant milestone and remains isolating at home with his parents during recovery.
- During the segment, NHS Blood and Transplant noted ten men were recognised as super donors for giving blood, plasma, platelets and stem cells.
