Daniel Hauser To Have Doctor's Exam Before Chemo

NEW ULM, Minn. (AP) ― A rural Sleepy Eye boy whose parents refused chemotherapy for his cancer will be examined by a doctor today ahead of the start of treatment.

Thirteen-year-old Daniel Hauser has Hodgkin's lymphoma. He and his mother missed a court appearance last week and left the state to avoid chemo and try to get alternative treatments.

Colleen and Anthony Hauser now say they understand their son needs chemotherapy. A judge ruled the boy could remain with them.

Daniel returned to Minnesota on Monday after almost a week on the run. A doctor's exam showed a tumor in his chest has grown and is pushing against his trachea, causing pain.

Daniel has a doctor's appointment today, and is due to have a round of chemo tomorrow.

Daniel Hauser was first diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease in January.
