In his first appearance since his cancer diagnosis was made public, Michael Douglas spoke to David Letterman this afternoon. CBS has released a few quotes from that interview that gives us a little more insight into his battle with the disease, which has now progressed to “late, stage four.”
“No, you like to be down at stage I … but it has not — the big thing you’re always worried about is it spreading … and the expectations are good …
“The percentages are very good,” Douglas added. “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.”
The Wall Street actor claims the cancer remains above the neck and that means expectations are good, with an 80 percent or better chance of recovery. In all honesty, he said his smoking and drinking of alcoholic beverages that brought this on.
Douglas was diagnosed after undergoing a biopsy when he returned from a family vacation.
You can catch the interview in its entirety on The Late Show with David Letterman tonight on CBS.
