She’s been a sensation since she’s been born, and now Blue Ivy has made her public debut.LOS ANGELES – Michael Douglas is vowing to beat cancer.
The 65-year-old “Wall Street” star said in an interview with People magazine that he expects to make a full recovery after a walnut-sized tumor was found on the base of his tongue in early August. Douglas is undergoing an eight-week course of radiation and chemotherapy in New York. His doctors said there is no evidence the cancer has spread.
“I’m treating this as a curable disease,” he said. “It’s a fight. I’ll beat this.”
Douglas said Tuesday during an appearance on David Letterman’s “Late Show” that he had just finished his first week of radiation and chemotherapy.
He said a biopsy found he had late, Stage 4 cancer, “which is intense, and so they gotta go at it.”
However, Douglas said, the cancer remains above the neck and that means expectations are good, with an 80 percent or better chance of recovery.
