Medics ‘delighted’ with brain cancer boy

The woman in charge of the medical centre in Prague that treated British brain cancer survivor, Ashya King, said she is “over the moon” with his progress.

Iva Tatounova said the six-year-old’s recovery was proof that proton-beam therapy should be “the first choice” of treatment for children with his condition.

Ashya’s parents, Brett and Naghmeh King, took their son back to the centre in the Czech capital, one year after they sparked a Europe-wide manhunt when they removed him from a UK hospital.
