Five-year-old Ashya King makes ‘miracle’ recovery

The parents of five-year-old Ashya King, who were jailed when they took him abroad for brain cancer treatment, have declared their son has made a “miracle” recovery.

They said his life was saved because he was given innovative treatment not available to him on the NHS.

The Proton Therapy Centre (PTC) in Prague, where he received the treatment last year, said it was “thrilled” to hear news that a recent scan showed no sign of a tumour.
