Ashya King: el final feliz que pudo haber tenido Alfie Evans

Ashya King, Charlie Gard y Alfie Evans. Tres casos distintos de niños con enfermedades que tienen un fuerte nexo común: las incoherencias del sistema sanitario y judicial británico. Los dos últimos no podrán dar testimonio de los avances de la medicina, sin embargo el primero -gracias a un hospital en República Checa- sí.

Desde el año 2014 hasta hoy, la sociedad europea es testigo de cómo la autoridad británica trata de imponerse a las decisiones de los padres que tienen hijos enfermos. El último ejemplo ha sido Alfie Evans, ingresado en un hospital de Liverpool por una enfermedad degenerativa. Ni la intervención del Papa Francisco, ni todas las ofertas del gobierno italiano pudieron frenar la decisión de los jueces de retirarle el soporte vital que lo mantenía con vida.

Ingresado en el Hospital General de Southampton

¿Quizás por la inseguridad de que se llevaran otro chasco y de que quedaran en ridículo delante de todo el mundo? Quizás. Esta última polémica hace remontarnos a cuatro años atrás, cuando un pequeño, hijo de un matrimonio perteneciente a los Testigos de Jehová, se encontraba ingresado en el Hospital General de Southampton librando una batalla contra el cáncer.

El principio de la historia comienza con la sugerencia de los padres, Brett y Naghemen King, de suministrar a su hijo un tratamiento que consistía en una terapia de protones. Ellos consideraban que sería menos dañino que la radioterapia convencional que ofrecía por aquel momento el Servicio Nacional de Salud de Reino Unido (NHS). Primeramente le habían eliminado con éxito y mediante cirugía el meduloblastoma.

Arrestados en España durante 24 horas

Tras las desavenencias entre los progenitores y el equipo médico del centro, decidieron que la mejor opción era sacar al menor de allí y buscar otra alternativa fuera del país, por lo que el 28 de agosto de 2014 se embarcaron en un ferry dirección Francia. El trayecto los llevó hasta Vélez -Málaga- donde por una Euroorden fueron arrestados durante 24 horas. Recibieron el apoyo de multitud de personas y tras una dura lucha judicial se les retiró la solicitud de extradición.

El asunto fue llevado hasta el Tribunal Supremo, que el 5 de septiembre dictaminó que Ashya podía recibir el tratamiento en Praga. A pesar de las negativas previsiones del hospital británico -los médicos auguraron que los efectos secundarios de la terapia de protones serían los mismos que los de una radioterapia convencional- los King tiraron para adelante.

Totalmente curado

En marzo de 2015, pasada ya la estancia en el Proton Therapy Center de Praga, un escáner cerebral verificó la buena nueva que todos estaban esperando: el pequeño estaba libre de cáncer. Tres años más tarde, el menor –de ocho años ya- ha vuelto a ser examinado y la luz blanca brilla de nuevo: está plenamente curado. Una noticia que llena de felicidad a los padres y que pone en jaque a aquellos que quieren tomar decisiones por encima de nadie.

El diario EL MUNDO publicaba el pasado 5 de mayo un breve reportaje en el que informaba que estos padres habían declarado no guardan rencor ni al hospital ni a los jueces británicos. Probablemente los Evans o los Gard, no puedan decir lo mismo.

Llega a España la terapia que salvó a Ashya King, el niño 'secuestrado' de la sanidad inglesa

 

En agosto de 2014, la policía de todo el mundo se movilizaba tras conocer un caso aparentemente muy inquietante. Los padres de un niño con un tumor cerebral habían sacado al pequeño, llamado Ashya King, del hospital de Southampton donde estaba ingresado y lo habían trasladado a una casa familiar en Málaga, donde fue localizado por las fuerzas de seguridad españolas. 

Se supo entonces que los padres de Ashya eran testigos de Jehová y se sospechó lo peor: que querían evitar para su hijo la única medicina que podía salvarle la vida. Sin embargo, esto resultó no ser así. Lo que Brett y Naghemeh King pretendían era que su hijo se tratara en el Centro de Terapia de Protones de Praga, uno de los pocos lugares entonces donde administraban protonterapia, una forma avanzada de radioterapia con muchos menos efectos secundarios que la convencional, lo que hace de ella una alternativa ideal para tumores pediátricos. 

Finalmente, tras un paso de 24 horas por la cárcel de Soto del Real, los padres pudieron trasladar a su hijo a la capital de la República Checa, donde recibió el innovador tratamiento que, cinco años después, llegará por fin también a España. El grupo Quironsalud está construyendo el que será el primer centro de protonterapia de España, que estará situado en Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid) y que empezará a tratar pacientes -tanto de la sanidad privada como de la pública, ya que la entidad gestiona diversos hospitales de titularidad autonómica- en 2019. 

Así funciona la protonterapia.

Sólo 20 centros en Europa

España se suma así a otros 57 centros ubicados en países como Francia, Alemania, Italia, Japón o EEUU, sólo una veintena de ellos situados en Europa. Desde el grupo hospitalario han explicado que las nuevas instalaciones han requerido de una inversión de 40 millones de euros. 

Desde que el tratamiento saltó a la palestra en los medios de comunicación, diversos estudios científicos lo han confirmado como una alternativa ideal para ciertos tumores. En 2016, The Lancet Oncology publicaba un estudio sobre su eficacia a largo plazo en el meduloblastoma. 

Entre los beneficios de la terapia con haz de protones destacan la mínima –incluso nula- radiación en los alrededores del tumor, una menor dosis total de radiación por tratamiento, ausencia de tumores secundarios a la radiación y mejora de la calidad de vida del paciente.

Aplicados en dosis específicas, los protones pueden actuar con precisión en el interior de los tejidos, consiguiendo una mayor actividad antitumoraly generando un menor daño en el tejido sano, lo que hace de este tipo de terapia especialmente indicada en pacientes pediátricos, aunque sólo en algunos tipos de cáncer.

En concreto, los tumores más indicados para este tipo de tratamiento son  el cordoma y el condrosarcoma -dos tipos de tumores óseos-, melanomas intraoculares no adecuados para la braquiterapia de placa y tumores en niños y adolescentes: craneoespinal, glioma de bajo grado, ependimoma, craneofaringioma, tumores de células germinales, tumores de hipófisis y tumores pineales, rabdomiosarcoma, sarcoma de Ewing, sarcomas de pelvis y linfoma mediastino, entre otros tipos de cáncer.

El sistema de terapia de protones que se podrá utilizar en España se llama Proteous One y reúne en una sola sala multifuncional toda la tecnología necesaria para la aplicación de la protonterapia en un centro oncológico.

Este equipamiento incorpora un sistema de escaneado del tumor para facilitar al médico la aplicación de la dosis más adecuada en cada área a tratar, y cuenta con los sistemas más avanzados para la toma de imágenes. Además, la máquina puede girar 360 grados sobre el paciente, aplicando el haz de protones desde cualquier ángulo, según informan desde el grupo hospitalario. "La apuesta de Quirónsalud por la protonterapia es fruto de nuestra preocupación por la calidad y la seguridad en la atención a nuestros pacientes y un ejemplo de nuestra continua innovación en los tratamientos y técnicas utilizados para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas", concluye Leticia Moral, directora general de Asistencia y Calidad de Quirónsalud.

      Status Update, just for fun...if anyone is bored and wants something to read, here are some communications that show one example of how a disfellowshipping works. The emails are not posted in order, you have to look at the dates to figure out the order it happened in.😊

      What an exciting evening! (Sorry if it rambles...)
       
      I was scared because I had to go into the "shark tank." Jehovah and Jesus went with me, and they totally rocked it!😆
       
      The COBE elder that kicked me out of the assembly a couple of weeks ago was so angry tonight! (He's kinda like Haman.)
       
      My husband is PIMI but he only attends about half the meetings. He calls me an apostate and gets mad if I say anything that isn't what the GB says. He didn't go to meeting tonight. I don't let my kids go to the KH unless I go, so the kids and I usually watch the meetings online. I didn't know if they would let me and the kids into the KH. (Since they just evicted us from the assembly a couple weeks ago at lunch because I talked to people and looked like I was happy and joyful.) As we were approaching the door of the KH tonight, the doorman saw me and let it slam shut and through the window I could see him, possibly looking for permission from an elder to see if I was "banned" or not. I knocked, and the visiting CO#2 cut in front of the doorman, opened up to let me in, escorting me right past the doorman! ("Jehovah Factor"😄)
       
      (There were two COs because I guess one was getting a "shepherding visit week" from the other one...)
       
      The CO#2 was awesome, a really kind gentleman who acted like a shepherd. CO#1 didn't recognize me at first because during his last visit I didn't attend because I thought the trespassing ban was still in place (although it had been removed but the COBE conveniently forgot to tell me. I found out when I went to his house just before the Memorial to ask, since they never respond to any messages I send either by email or letter.)
       
      (Incidentally, I wrote in an earlier Status Update about my experiences running into the CO#1 at the assembly a couple of weeks ago...)
       
      As soon as we got in the KH, the regular Pharisee-types were shocked and dismayed and frowned because my presence is worse than if a contagious yowling leper came in. However, the CO#1 started asking my kids' names, and the elder standing there conveniently forgot how to talk so the CO went through the greetings and asked me my name and I chatted with him for a moment. He figured out who I was after a bit and I think he was a little shocked. (I have written to him plenty about the stuff going on in the congregation - he never replies.)
       
      So, we walked toward the auditorium and put our stuff down in the middle of the second row from the front. My kids wanted to see their friends, and I got up to walk around a little too. When I passed by CO#2, he stopped me and kindly asked me my name. (The COBE and his wife were standing right next to him.) I answered the COs questions, and we chatted and he asked where else I was from and if I was doing hospitality at all during the week. I told him I came to support the CO visit, and that I would keep him in my prayers. He was so nice. I asked him for a hug, and he gave me a hug. All this time, the COBE and his wife had steam coming out of their ears almost, and finally the COBE grabbed the CO and said "Excuse me! She's been disfellowshipped for a year!" And the CO thought he was joking! So he laughed and said something like "oh, yeah, that's funny" and then the COBE said, "No, really!" And I said, "He is a liar." Because the COBE is a liar. He bears false witness about all kinds of things. And I walked to my seat.
       
      The meeting started shortly after. The kids and I sang heartily so everyone could hear our joy and affection for Jehovah. The hypocritical COBE was called up to pray. I did not bow my head. I kept my eyes open. That man is a snake. I refuse to say "Amen" to anything he has to say.
       
      During the Bible gems my kids got to comment. I put my hand up several times too, and everybody nearly had a heart attack. (Is there a rule that says a "disfellowshipped" person can't raise their hand?) Of course, they didn't call on me.
       
      The second song was a nice loud march. We've always been told to sing loud. I am obedient to that good counsel.
       
      The CO#1s talk started off pleasant enough. Until he mentioned the "recent apostasy and divisions" the congregation has had to deal with (he means me, since I sent emails to the "friends" to tell them the sketchy things the elders were doing.) Wasn't that nice of him to mention me in the talk! My kids got irritated with his smack talk, but Jehovah got us through it. I think he used maybe three or four scriptures, two of them misapplied. Most of the talk was about worshipping the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" and how much they "have done for us".🤪
       
      I went because I love Jehovah and I knew He wanted me to go to at least one of the CO visit days, to show my support to the "friends" that I know this is the organization Jehovah is going to clean and that I haven't left of my own accord. (They know about all the details of the sketchy stuff the fake elders did because I informed them of every sketchy thing the elders did to my kids and me.) Part of why I went was to show love for the congregation. Very soon they are going to be in complete shock. I love those people, even though they are all mostly brainwashed at present. They will have a rude awakening soon enough because the GB and the Bethels will be gone when the UN attacks and the congregations are going to need to be comforted. 
       
      A nice brother said the closing prayers, so I said "Amen" to that one nice and clear. (The poor brothers on the platform were right in front me, there was no one sitting in the row in front of us.) After the meeting, my kids chatted for a little bit with friends and then we were going to leave. I said "hi" to a few people (that really irritates the COBE, that's not why I do it, I do it because Jehovah said to encourage the brothers and we can't if we don't talk to them...) 
       
      When we were leaving, CO#1 pulled my son aside to talk to him for a minute. The CO wanted me to go away, but I stayed right there, because I think it's rude to cause divisions in a family like what he was doing. The CO attempted to talk to my son about homeschooling right in front of me as if I didn't exist. I wasn't having any of it. I let him do his thing for a minute, and then I told him he was causing divisions, and if he didn't respect Jehovah's arrangement for family (like not talking to the mom who is part of the family) that he wasn't welcome to talk to my son. The COs not good association. Then we walked away.
       
      My daughter was in the library with her friend and her friends parents and two aunts (one is the wife of an elder.) As soon as I walked in - hush! Everybody stopped talking. I walked by them and told my daughter's friend I loved her and gave her a hug (I used to take her out in service together with my kids). I looked at the people in the room and said "I love you, even though I know you hate me, except for you...I know you love me" to one sister who I know is kind and real. Then we left and on the way out gave the other doorman who is like a grandfather a big hug and he said goodbye and kept waving as we drove off.
       
      What an evening! (Thank you for any positive thoughts directed my way! Jehovah is the Hearer of Prayer, and He does things with style!)
       
      "You well know that Jehovah your God is the true God, the faithful God, keeping his covenant and loyal love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.  But those who hate him he will repay to their face with destruction. He will not be slow to deal with those who hate him; he will repay them to their face." (Deuteronomy 7:9,10)
