I saw the parents on one of the morning shows today and they seem to believe that the doctors are recommeding the radiation simply because it is the standard procedure, not because their daughter necessarily needs it. They don't want her to have unnecessary treatments, treatments which could further lower her immune system. I sympathize with this. I think that the parents should be allowed the option of a second or even a third opinion before child welfare steps in and takes her child, because based on what I saw this morning, it is not that they don't want her to have treatment, it is that they don't want her to have treatment that she doesn't need.
