DJ Daniel, the 13-year-old cancer survivor whom Donald Trump named an honorary U.S. agent, is facing a new battle. The Houston native has been busy traveling the country and collecting honors from law enforcement agencies. Recently, he was diagnosed with several new tumors.
DJ Daniel Is Battling New Tumors
On Friday, May 30, the White House’s official X (formerly known as Twitter) account delivered an unfortunate update, sharing with its 1.9 million followers that Daniel is facing new health problems.
“We’re lifting up Agent DJ Daniel in prayer after his dad, Theodis, shared that DJ is now facing three new tumors,” the post read, leaving social media users shocked. Meanwhile, Theodis, Daniel’s dad, opened up about the emotional toll of this heartbreaking development.
“Just winging it day by day. He does have three new tumors,” he said. “It’s rough, there isn’t a class that can teach you how to deal with it. You’re hearing that your child has a nasty disease.”
No further details have been shared about Daniel’s condition. However, a quick scroll through his official Instagram account indicates that the teen is still living his best life. Despite the diagnosis, he’s been crisscrossing the country, showing up and showing out at law enforcement agencies to accept his well-deserved honors. The strength of this young man is clearly unmatched, ya’ll!
