Michael Douglas will complete his throat cancer treatment this week with his last treatment scheduled for this Friday. After eight rough weeks of chemotherapy and radiation for Stage 4 cancer, the fighting champ is glad that it’ll soon be over.
Douglas’ long-term friend and publicist Allen Burry says there are no further treatments being scheduled.
Douglas’ recovery is expected to take another six weeks after which he’ll have periodic check-ups.
During the treatment Douglas has found it painful to swallow and difficult to eat as a result. But Burry revealed that he ‘was determined not to have a feeding tube, and he didn’t have to have one’.
According to the Daily Mail, doctors are said to be pleased with his progress and have given him an 80 per cent chance of surviving.
Despite his treatment, Douglas, 66, still has enough energy to walk his seven-year-old daughter Carys to school in the morning.
Douglas is determined to win his battle against cancer and we are all praying for him! He’s a strong and brave man and we believe he’ll win this battle. Amen.
We love you Douglas, stay strong!
