Ashya King reported to be cancer-free after proton beam therapy in Prague

Ashya King, the five-year-old British brain cancer patient who underwent proton therapy in Prague last year, is cured of the disease, his parents told the media on Monday. The boy's parents who were arrested in Spain for secretly taking the boy out of a Southampton hospital which did not offer proton therapy, said the decision had saved his life since he was too weak to come through chemotherapy. Ashya who underwent thirty sessions of proton beam therapy is now reported to be cancer-free and recovering well.
