Virginia court allows teen cancer victim to receive alternative treatment

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Virginia court Wednesday allowed a teenage boy battling cancer to forgo chemotherapy and receive an alternative treatment.

A consent decree was signed to allow Abraham Cherrix, 16, to receive an alternative treatment from a specialist in Mississippi.

Virginia's Department of Social Services had argued that if Abraham Cherrix, 16, did not undergo chemotherapy, the most common treatment for cancer, it would constitute medical neglect. Cherrix and his family had favored the Hoxsey treatment, which involves herbal medicines.

Speaking after the ruling, Cherrix expressed his relief that the court battle was over and he would be able to move forward with his treatment. -- From CNN Correspondent Joe Johns and Senior Producer Steve Turnham (Posted 10:54 a.m.)
