MISSOULA- A Missoula family received crushing news after learning their three year old's brain cancer is back. Cash Hyde already had aggressive chemotherapy and other tough treatments to get rid of a large brain tumor.

But on Tuesday, the family went in for a yearly check up and that's when a scan revealed the tumor was back. We spoke with Cash's dad Mike as the family was driving back from Salt Lake City.

He says he's got about a 20 day window to try a holistic approach with a vegan diet and other methods to see if the tumor stops growing. If not, Cash has to have radiation that only gives him a 30% chance of survival and will probably leave him blind and with other health issues.

Cash is also known as being the youngest patient ever to have a medical marijuana card and his father says the marijuana oil was invaluable to his son's treatment.
