Danny Hauser's Last Cancer Treatment

MINNEAPOLIS - Inside the radiation room, Danny Hauser is a warrior preparing for one more battle. Minutes into his therapy session, he's ready to claim victory.

"Best part about it is I don't have to come back in here," Hauser said of his last treatment.

Technicians at Abbott Northwestern Hospital targeted the radiation to the exact spot where a tumor once crew in Hauser's chest. The 13-year-old never wanted radiation or chemotherapy, but a judge ordered medical treatment over the natural methods his family argued for.

"I should've had a choice from the beginning what to do," Hauser said.

Hauser gained national attention back in May, when he resisted chemo in favor of alternative therapies. The teen and his mother, Colleen, even tried to flee the country, but eventually returned and agreed to the court-ordered treatment.

"Just the emotional part, the stress was horrendous on him," Colleen Hauser said. "He just couldn't handle it. He was just…he really didn't want to live, going through them…he didn't."

Hauser says her family pulled together to give Danny strength.

"We managed and you know we had to do it, and we did what we were supposed to do," she said.

Danny Hauser has been receiving radiation almost every day for the last two weeks. He just finished his last of 12 treatments and doctors say his prognosis is good.

"Given the successful completion of treatment, Daniel has a 95 percent chance of being cured at this point," Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota said, in a statement.

Danny Hauser is just glad it's finished.

"It means a lot," he said. "They don't have to put poison into me anymore. They can leave us alone."

The Hausers say they believe alternative therapies, including a special diet of mostly raw vegetables and vitamins, played a large role in Danny's success.

"We kept his immune system built up so well that even the doctors are impressed that he did so well," Colleen Hauser said.

No matter how he won his fight against cancer, Danny is now ready to move on and leave the hospital behind.

"It's nice," Colleen said. "It's nice to have it all done and over with and now we can get back to our normal lives, which is what we wanted so long ago. It's nice."
