Authorities nationwide are on the lookout for a mother and her 13-year-old son who have been refusing cancer treatment…that doctors say could save the boy's life. The teen, Daniel Hauser, has Hodgkin's lymphoma. The mother, Colleen Hauser and her son, Daniel, have vanished…apparently leaving their southern Minnesota home sometime after a doctor's appointment on Monday. An X-ray showed his tumor had grown. Daniel's Hodgkin's lymphoma is considered highly curable with chemotherapy and radiation, but the boy quit chemo after a single treatment. With his parents, he opted instead for "alternative medicines," citing religious beliefs.
