I can't believe that they weren't allowed to get a second opinion on this. The thing that is really disturbing to me is this statement:
Quote:
"There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that you need chemotherapy for this particular kind of basically mild cancer," Rick Jaffe, the family lawyer, told the network. "All the evidence really relates to this full-blown bone involvement where you have very sick kids."

This isn't a "mild cancer." To my knowledge, survival is very low even when it isn't located in bones. It's aggressive and very deadly. That said, the parents should have been allowed to get a second opinion, as long as they didn't take too long because that form of cancer would kill the kid in a short period of time. And a side note: it doesn't have to be in the bone to be Ewing's Sarcoma and it could be just as deadly.
