by emily on September 1, 2010

Since our last post, it seems Michael Douglas’ health took a turn for the worse. The Wall Street star announced that the tumor discovered in his throat last month is stage 4 throat cancer.

Douglas’ cancer has spread beyond the original tumor site, which make is very difficult to cure. Although stage 4 throat cancer is the final stage of cancer, Douglas says he feels optimistic.

Michael Douglas discovered his throat cancer after having throat and ear pain. Treatment will be rough, requiring a feeding tube, strong pain medications, and radiation. Though the treatment will be difficult, the 65-year-old Douglas is not giving up.
