MICHAEL Douglas faces "an eight-week struggle" against throat cancer, he has told talk show host David Letterman. The Wall Street actor said a biopsy had revealed he had "stage four cancer", which, he said, was "intense and so they've had to go at it". Douglas, who was diagnosed three weeks ago, said on Letterman's Late Show that he had finished the first week of two months' radiation and chemotherapy. The cancer remained above the neck which meant "expectations are good", he said."I would hate to say, but right now, it looks like it should be 80 per cent and, with certain hospitals and everything, it does improve."Douglas said he had a series of tests in the early summer after complaining of a sore throat, but they revealed nothing. After a summer break, the actor - who has two young children with wife Catherine Zeta Jones - had a biopsy which revealed advanced cancer. He said he felt frustrated doctors had not found anything earlier "because I was on it early in the summer and started complaining about something, but they couldn't see it then".
