Hollywood actor Michael Douglas remains optimistic despite admitting that his throat condition is apparently a lot more serious than he first thought.
On the Letterman show, the actor talks about his situation candidly.”It’s a stage four, which is intense, and they gotta go at it,” he says on the Late Show last Tuesday.
Douglas tells that he found out about his illness after having time-off with his family. He is married to Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and has two young kids with her. Upon returning to the United States, a doctor took a look at his throat, did a biopsy, and discovered that he has Stage 4 throat cancer. All these things, including his family vacation, all happened in a span of three weeks.
Michael, whose father is the legendary Kirk Douglas, said on his interview that before things got worse, he already had throat problems for several months. Each time he would go for a check-up, doctors couldn’t find anything until after his visit to the hospital when he got back from vacation.
He told Letterman Tuesday: “I am head and neck, I am above the neck, so nothing’s gone down and the expectations are good. You like to be down at stage one but the big thing you worry about is it spreading. The percentages are very good. I would hate to say, but right now, it looks like it should be 80 percent, and with certain hospitals and everything, it does improve.”
He went on to share what he and his family did during the summer. They visited Spain, Russia and St. Petersburg which were all great and fantastic places.
Douglas’ new movie, the remake of Wall Street which is now called “The Money Never Sleeps” is set to hit the big screen later this month.
