TAMPA, Fla. —A Florida judge ruled Wednesday that a 3-year-old diagnosed with leukemia must continue chemotherapy treatment against the wishes of his parents.
Noah McAdams, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April, was ordered by a Hillsborough County judge to complete at least the first phase of a prescribed chemotherapy treatment.
His parents, Taylor Bland and Joshua McAdams, had asked the court to allow them to forgo chemotherapy, in favor of alternative treatments, including medicinal cannabis, vitamins and diet, according to WFLA.
The judge's ruling says the parents are free to pursue other alternatives while Noah continues with treatment.

Because you and your children are property of the state
Wow that's a tough one. I heard chemo is not worth it. Don't know for sure. If it were my child I would do everything in my power to save my child. Good bless
