Sad news today as it is confirmed that Michael Douglas has a throat tumor.

The verteran actor has announced that he has a throat tumor: quite why is not know (it never is with cancer) but it is thought that it might be linked to his light smoking habit over the decades.

MICHAEL DOUGLAS, the Hollywood movie star, has cancer, his spokesman
announced last night.

Doctors have discovered a tumour in his throat. He will now undergo
an eight-week course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

From what we understand the tumor has been caught early and should respond well to the predicted eight week program of chemo and radiotherapy. Douglas himself says he is confident about his prognosis.
