Jessica McElveen


Jessica L. McElveen, now a freshman at Sandy Creek, was diagnosed with a rare pediatric cancer during the 2007 Christmas holidays.   At the time of the diagnosis, Jessica was an eighth grader here at Flat Rock.  Doctors at Scottish Rite Hospital provided a diagnosis of Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT), a rare cancer where no treatment protocol has been established. 

Jessica receives an aggressive form of chemotherapy that is administered during regular visits to the Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital in Atlanta. With much prayer, this treatment has sustained Jessica as her condition has continually improved.

During her regular appointments and tests, doctors determined that Jessica’s condition had improved to the degree that some of the tumors could be removed.  As a result, in April of 2009, Jessica and her family went to Sloane Kettering Cancer Treatment Center in New York.  Her surgery in late April was deemed to be a success, and the family continues to explore treatment options for Jessica.

Jessica and her family wish to convey their heartfelt appreciation to the Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital and Sloane Kettering doctors and staff, family physicians, their home church (Sandy Creek Baptist Church), friends, neighbors, community churches, and the United Community Bank for their support and prayers. In addition, they truly appreciate the support from the Principal, Staff and Students at Flat Rock Middle School.

Flat Rock Middle School made it possible for this website to be available for anyone desiring to inquire on Jessica’s condition or provide support and encouragement.  

Jessica and her family ask that you continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
