Ashya King's Parents Vindicated
It turns out that Proton Beam Therapy is suitable to treat his condition.
// Dr Jiri Kubes, head of proton therapy at Proton Therapy Center Czech, said: "We have agreed that proton therapy is a suitable method of treatment for Ashya. //
So the parents were right.
// The Prague Proton Therapy Centre has said its clinicians have now received five-year-old Ashya King's medical notes from his doctors in Southampton as his parents are set to be reunited with their son.
A spokesman for the Proton Therapy Centre (PTC) in the Czech Republic said it had received additional information concerning the status of Asya's health.
He said Dr Gary Nicolin, a consultant paediatric oncologist and lead for paediatric neuro-oncology at the Department of Paediatric Oncology at University Hospital Southampton, had sent complete medical reports, including operation notes, histology reports and imaging reports.
He said the PTC medical board reviewed this documentation at 8am on Wednesday. //
Congratulations to the parents for fighting for the best for their sick child. And getting the right treatment which Southampton Hospital were denying him.
The disgraceful conduct of the hospital needs to be investigated, do you agree.

// I also wouldn't be surprised the hospital is very limited in what they are being allowed to say by their legal department etc... //
They were not so reticent when they were defaming the couple and claiming neglect. I agree the legal department may be advising silence, but suspect their motive is damage limitation rather than any data protection concerns.

Gromit - you are mistaken - have you read my first link above?
Ethan Fidler ages 10 was sent to America for proton treatment for a brain tumour paid for by the NHS.
Another case here..

I also put up this link for you yesterday which gives a list of the kinds of cases of childhood tumours sent abroad for this treatment . I don't think you can have read it.

The Christie site does indeed say that PBT is suitable for the treatment of some childhood brain tumours. That is not in dispute. The child in the Guardian article had an ependymoma for which PBT is a proven treatment.
Where did you get that misleading information from?

Ahh I think I see - you have interpreted...
"The treatment is currently only available to treat eye conditions on the NHS in the UK, but is already being used by European countries and in the US for a range of cancers in adults and children."
...as meaning that children and adults are not sent abroad for treatment.
