Texas girl, 6, with terminal cancer gets wish to be police chief, swears to fight the 'bad guys in her lungs'

The girl had always wished to become a police officer but the deadly disease has given her little time to live out her wishes
UPDATED FEB 9, 2019

Abigail Rose Arias, from Freeport in Texas, has proven that cancer cannot stand between her and her dream of becoming an honorary police officer. The six-year-old is known to suffer from a type of cancer, known as Willms tumor, which is quite common for children in between the age group of seven and nine.

The cancer is known to affect only one kidney of the patient but, in the case of children, the tumors can occur in more than one place in the same kidney. About five to ten percent of children with Wilms tumors have bilateral disease (tumors in both kidneys).

Abigail's swearing-in ceremony at the Freeport Police Department mostly saw her battling the disease with some brave words.
