Michael Douglas Throat Cancer Diagnosis
Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas has been diagnosed with throat cancer, according to a statement released by his spokesman on Monday. Doctors found a tumor in Douglas’ throat and plan to treat the actor with radiation and chemotherapy. Doctors believe he will make a full recovery from the disease after treatment.

Douglas is “very optimistic” about the treatment he is undergoing for the disease, he said in a statement to People.
This has been rather a rough year for Michael Douglas, whose son, Cameron Douglas, was jailed earlier this year on charges of conspiring to sell crystal meth and herion.
The 65-year-old actor and husband to Catherine Zeta-Jones will undergo eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy treatment for the throat tumor. After that, Douglas will be working hard on promoting his new Wall Street sequel film, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, which debuts in theaters later this year.
