Actor Michael Douglas was on David Letterman’s show to promote his latest movie but most of the discussion was about his cancer.
Douglas said he has stage 4 cancer and explained how he found out saying, “It had been bothering me for a while… In early summer, I had a really sore throat.” The actor adds, “And I actually went through a litany of doctors and tests and they didn’t find anything.”
Michael went back to the doctor and explains, “A guy [told me to say] ‘ahhhh’ and he said, ‘Let me just take a little clip of that.’ And this all happened within three weeks, and I got a biopsy and they analyzed it – it’s a stage 4, which is intense, and so they’ve got to go at it…”
“Now when you said ’stage 4,’ I heard someone gasp,” David stated, asking, “Now, is stage 4 where you want to be or where you do not want to be?”
“Um, no. No, you like to be down at stage 1… but it has not — the big thing you’re always worried about is it spreading, so I am head and neck,” Michael explained. “I am above the neck, so nothing’s gone down, and the expectations are good… ”
At the end of their interview David Letterman stated, “Wow, boy, I feel like I want to do something for you.” And asked, “Can I do something for you?”
“Ahh, give me a hug,” Michael said.
