The White House revealed that 13-year-old Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, who was named an honorary Secret Service agent in March, is now confronting three new tumors.
DJ received the honorary Secret Service title during President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress.

“It’s rough,” Theodis said. “There isn’t a class that can teach you how to deal with it.”
He added, “You’re hearing that your child has a nasty disease.”
DJ was first diagnosed with brain and spinal cancer when he was six years old.
