Well, to get the parents point of view, looks like the best bet is:

I'm pretty sure that I was incorrect in guessing that they were talking about radiation for bone marrow transplant. They are talking about radiation as hopefully a last step to eliminate the cancer.

It also sounds like they doctors have had to get previous CPS/court orders to give the girl blood products without the parents consent. Unfortunately for the parents, this establishes a track record of them endangering their child. My guess is they will lose anything they try and contest at this point. IMO, their only hope is to find a pediatric oncologist who will review their case and testify that she doesn't need radiation.

Yes, a pediatric oncologist view would be nice to have. I notice your post said as hopefully a last step to eliminate the cancer. I think this applies to my previous post. Do they think the radiation will kill it or not? In a child I would like to see every opportunity to cure her. But if they don't think it will have much of a chance why put her through it. I think the parents have a right to consider those things more than the state does.
