NEW ULM, Minn. -- A 13-year-old boy with cancer who fled Minnesota to avoid chemotherapy said he is angry about a judge's ruling yesterday that he must continue getting the treatment after court documents showed that his tumor has shrunk significantly.
Daniel Hauser was not at the court hearing but later said he had hoped that he would be able to stop chemotherapy, which, he said, makes him ill. "I get really sick when I do it," the teen said during an interview at his family's farm at Sleepy Eye. "You get so dizzy and I get a headache right away."
Daniel said he believes that his tumor's improvement comes from alternative treatments he is doing such as supplemental drinks and pills.
His parents also remain concerned about the risks of chemotherapy, which they initially rejected for religious reasons, saying that it harms the body. But they told Judge John Rodenberg of Brown County during the hearing yesterday that they would take their son to a chemo appointment today.
