SLEEPY EYE, Minn. =E2=80=93 A 13-year-old boy with cancer=
who fled Minnesota to avoid chemotherapy said Tuesday he is angry a judge =
has ordered him to continue the treatment because doctors say it has signif=
icantly shrunk the size of his tumor.
Daniel Hauser was not in court when the judge issued his =
order, but later told The Associated Press he had hoped 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 in Sleepy Eye. "You get so dizzy and I get =
a headache right away."
Daniel said he believes the improvement in his condition =
is being caused by his alternative treatments, which include vitamin supple=
ments, ionized water and organic foods and other dietary restrictions.
His parents also remain concerned about the risks of chem=
otherapy, which they initially rejected for religious reasons, saying it ha=
rms the body. But they told Brown County Judge John Rodenberg during the Tu=
esday hearing that they would take their son to a Wednesday chemo appointme=
nt.
Colleen Hauser told the AP at her home that doctors said =
it would take six months to treat her son's Hodgkin's lymphoma when he was =
first diagnosed, but they've seen improvement in the past few weeks.
"Wow," she said. "Something's working."
But when asked if she credits the chemotherapy, she said,=
"I'm not going to say it's not, but I just want to make it clear that I wo=
uld like a better plan, a better treatment plan, for Danny."
The judge earlier assured Colleen and Anthony Hauser they=
can continue looking for other ways to treat their son.
"If at the end of the day Daniel lives through this, I am=
not going to care ... what cures him," the judge said. "I want Daniel to b=
e well, and I know you do too."
Rodenberg also ruled Daniel is still in need of child pro=
tection services, agreeing with Brown County prosecutor James Olson that th=
e case should remain before the court. Olson pointed out the family has res=
isted chemotherapy in the past, specifically Colleen's decision to flee wit=
h Daniel to California last month rather than show up at a court hearing to=
discuss the matter. They were the subject of a search that extended into M=
exico.
"History has shown they're not going to comply unless the=
y have some sort of hammer hanging over their head," he said.
The Hausers' attorney, Barbara Gislason, said the family'=
s promise to take Daniel to his chemo appointment does not mean they believ=
e in the treatment.
"When you're a parent dealing with a life and death situa=
tion for your kid, you want everything done perfectly, because if everythin=
g isn't done perfectly, your kid can die. And one of the ways your kid can =
die is toxicity from chemotherapy, " Gislason said.
Besides a smaller tumor, doctors said in court documents =
presented Tuesday that some of Daniel's symptoms have improved following th=
e chemotherapy. He was breathing better and sleeping well, and his cough ha=
s improved, they said. But the doctors said the boy has a poor appetite and=
has been fatigued and nauseated.
"As (h)is tumor is responding and not resistant to chemot=
herapy, I still believe he has an excellent chance of cure," Dr. Bruce Bost=
rom, an oncologist at Children's Hospitals and Clinics, said in the court d=
ocuments.
Daniel's court-appointed attorney, Phil Elbert, said the =
teen has seen the most recent X-rays of his tumor, which show that the tumo=
r is a white, see-through mass. Previous X-rays had shown a dense, black ma=
ss.
In an affidavit, Colleen Hauser said she seeks the court'=
s forgiveness for fleeing with her son and thanks the judge for allowing Da=
niel to stay with the family after the two returned from California.=20
"It is so important to Danny that he be surrounded by his=
family," the affidavit read.=20
Daniel spoke in short sentences Tuesday but said he wasn'=
t too tired. He said thinks he can beat cancer and that when he does, he mi=
ght celebrate with some target practice.=20
"He's got one thing on his mind, and that's tomorrow," hi=
s mother said.=20

to avoid chemotherapy said Tuesday he is angry a judge ha=

ordered him to continue the treatment because doctors say=
it=20
has significantly shrunk the size of his tumor.</DIV>
<DIV>Daniel Hauser was not in court when the judge issued=
his=20
order, but later told The Associated Press he had hoped h=
e=20
would be able to stop chemotherapy, which he said makes h=
im=20
ill.</DIV>
<DIV>"I get really sick when I do it," the teen said duri=

dietary restrictions.</DIV>
<DIV>His parents also remain concerned about the risks of=
=20
chemotherapy, which they initially rejected for religious=
=20
reasons, saying it harms the body. But they told Brown Co=
unty=20
Judge John Rodenberg during the Tuesday hearing that they=
=20
would take their son to a Wednesday chemo appointment.</D=

<DIV>Colleen Hauser told the AP at her home that doctors =

it would take six months to treat her son's <SPAN=20

<DIV>The judge earlier assured Colleen and Anthony Hauser=
they=20
can continue looking for other ways to treat their son.</=

<DIV>"If at the end of the day Daniel lives through this,=
I am=20
not going to care ... what cures him," the judge said. "I=

Daniel to be well, and I know you do too."</DIV>
<DIV>Rodenberg also ruled Daniel is still in need of chil=

protection services, agreeing with Brown County prosecuto=

James Olson that the case should remain before the court.=

Olson pointed out the family has resisted chemotherapy in=

ed=20
into Mexico.</DIV>
<DIV>"History has shown they're not going to comply unles=
s=20
they have some sort of hammer hanging over their head," h=
e=20
said.</DIV>
<DIV>The Hausers' attorney, Barbara Gislason, said the=20
family's promise to take Daniel to his chemo appointment =
does=20
not mean they believe in the treatment.</DIV>
<DIV>"When you're a parent dealing with a life and death=

chemotherapy, " Gislason said.</DIV>
<DIV>Besides a smaller tumor, doctors said in court docum=

following the chemotherapy. He was breathing better and=20
sleeping well, and his cough has improved, they said. But=
the=20
doctors said the boy has a poor appetite and has been fat=
