Starchild Abraham Cherrix, seen here at age 17, won a court battle

against Va. officials who tried to force him to undergo chemo.

 

FLOYD, Va. —  Starchild Abraham Cherrix has plenty of reason to

celebrate his 18th birthday Friday.

 

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.

 

Cherrix completed radiation treatments last year. He has also used

alternative herbal treatments.
