LONDON, March 23 (UPI) -- A boy, whose parents were arrested for removing him from the British hospital while treating him for brain cancer, claim he is now cancer-free.
Brett and Neghemeh King were detained in a Spanish prison last summer after they removed their son Ashya, 5, from a Southampton, England, hospital against doctors' advice. They sought alternative treatment in Prague, Czech Republic, after English doctors prescribed a treatment of proton beam therapy, a procedure not covered by the British government's National Health Service (NHS).
