FLOYD, Va. — Starchild Abraham Cherrix has plenty of reason to celebrate his 18th birthday.
His
latest blood results show no indication of the Hodgkin's disease he's
battled since 2005, and for the first time in two years he doesn't have
to report those results to the Accomack County court.
Cherrix
won a court battle against state officials who tried to force him to
undergo chemotherapy for his lymphatic cancer. He was allowed to treat
the disease using alternative therapies, but his family was required to
keep the court updated as to his progress.
His
case led to a state law named after him that gives Virginia teenagers
and their parents the right to refuse doctor-recommended treatments for
life-threatening ailments.
