Michael Douglas has throat tumor

Michael Douglas has been diagnosed with a throat tumor and he will receive an 8-week course of radiation and chemotherapy treatment according to his spokesman. The news that Michael Douglas has a throat tumor is still serious, but, publicly at least, hopes are still high. Michael Douglas has a throat tumor after a decades-long smoking habit that goes back to the '70s. Dr. Kenneth Hu, of Beth Israel Medical Center, told Good Morning America that smoking and drinking is likely the cause of this problem.
The Douglas family is already well-versed in difficult health problems. Although Michael Douglas has a throat tumor, it is mild compared to the stroke his father suffered years ago. Kirk Douglas recovered, but his speech was permanently affected.
