(CNN) – “We pleaded with them for proton beam treatment. They looked at me straight in the face and said with his cancer, which is called medulloblastoma, it would have no benefit whatsoever.” King said he then looked on the Internet and found sites in the United States, France and Switzerland on proton beam treatment that “said the opposite that it would be beneficial for him.” The Kings traveled to Malaga with their six children to sell a home they own there, in order to “look for better treatment” for Ashya, said their Spanish lawyer, Juan Isidro Fernandez.
