Michael Douglas who is 65 years old is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment after doctors found a tumor at the base of his tongue. The actor told his children Dylan, 10, and Carys, 7, his kids with the beautiful actress and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones about his condition.
The actor also told his children about the imprisonment of their older half-brother Cameron who was handed a five-year jail sentence in April after pleading guilty to dealing methamphetamine and cocaine.
"The children have been fantastically supportive," he said. "I've taken them to watch my radiation treatments so they understand what's going on, and I've taken them to see their brother in federal prison. It's brought us a little closer in some ways."
At this time Douglas is trying to think positive and wants to win the battle against cancer and he admits the treatment has taken a "big toll" on him.
"I'm finding that solitude and quiet is what I really need," he said. "I'm really enjoying listening to music and reading books, but the radiation and the increased soreness of my mouth and the chemo continue to knock me out."
"On the one hand, my tumor is shrinking and getting a lot smaller, but on the other, the processes used to eliminate it is taking a big toll."by fw editor |
