Some children with cancer are receiving a new type of drug treatment far less toxic than chemotherapy.
Arthur, 11, is one of the first to try it, at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital, for his blood cancer.
His family call the therapy "a little bit of sunshine", since it worked without making Arthur feel much sicker.
And because it could be given on the go, rather than just in hospital, he spent more time at home with his family, enjoying more of what he loves.
