Michael Douglas on Throat Cancer: ‘I’ll Beat This’

Michael Douglas is speaking out for the first time since being diagnosed with throat cancer, saying resolutely, "I'll beat this."

In an exclusive new interview with People magazine, on newsstands Friday, the 65-year-old 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' star gets candid about his health battle and reveals how wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and their children, 10-year-old Dylan and 7-year-old Carys, have reacted to the news.

Two weeks ago it was revealed that a tumor was discovered in the Oscar winner's throat and he will endure eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. Doctors expect Douglas to have a full recovery, according to his spokesperson. At the time the news broke, Douglas said in a statement to People, "I am very optimistic."
