We now know that a tumor found in Michael Douglas’ throat tumor is far more serious than everyone had hoped. During an interview scheduled prior to his diagnosis, the two-time Academy Award winning actor revealed that he has Stage 4 cancer.

“The big thing you’re worried about is it spreading,” the 65-year-old told David Letterman. “I am head and neck. It hasn’t gone down. The expectations are good.”

Although doctors had failed to detect the tumor earlier this summer while evaluating Douglas for throat and ear pain, the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps star has been told his chances of a recovery are 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.”
