<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A mother involved in a legal battle to prevent her seven-year-old son
from having radiotherapy to treat a brain tumour has been refused more
time to seek alternative treatments. Sally Roberts, 37, wanted to
explore alternatives including immunotherapy, the use of biological
agents, photodynamic therapy, diet and lifestyle therapies and
hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat her son Neon, who is receiving
treatment for a medulloblastoma, the high court was told. But
judge Mr Justice Bodey said any further delays would be detrimental and
not in her son's best interests and refused to adjourn the case for her
to call evidence from alternative and integrated medical practitioners..."</div>
