Douglas optimistic about cancer battle

Michael Douglas is confident he will win his battle against cancer.

Londo: Michael Douglas is confident that he will win his battle against cancer - because he trusts his doctors when they tell him he`ll make a full recovery. The ‘Basic Instinct’ star made his health crisis public recently and revealed he has stage-four throat cancer on The Late Show, reports the Daily Express.

"Life is not all ha-ha-ha, but I`m in good spirits. I`m an optimistic guy. Nothing has deterred me from my belief that I am going to beat this. My doctors` prognosis is for a full recovery (and) I have no reason to doubt them." Douglas told Parade Magazine. "If it helps bring attention, then that is a major upside to this whole thing. Millions of families are going through the same thing my family and I are now going through. If I can bring any relief or encouragement, that`s the good news," he added. ANI
