I would be furious also, if that were my husband.

Prayers up for Mr Douglas.

"It makes me furious they didn't detect it earlier," Zeta-Jones told People. "He sought every option and nothing was found."
He was an 0bamacare test case. Gotta' get those death panels up and running.

On a related note, I finally found “Falling Down” at a used video store. What an awesome movie and how appropriate for the current times. Douglas does a spectacular job.

I highly recommend this movie, though I fear it will be as hard to find as Song of the South.

You did a REALLY bad job of excerpting the article, by the way.

Sounds like my mother’s case. They kept telling her she had the flu but it turned out she had cancer of the esophagus, by the time they found it, it has advanced so far that they couldn’t save her. I don’t Blame CZJ for being pi**ed, I was extremely angry about my mom.

“Douglas, 65, is now undergoing radiation and chemotherapy five days-a-week every three weeks to rid himself of a walnut-sized tumor at the base of his tongue.”

That is a big tumor especially where it is located.

And the article says that it is a late stage four cancer but he has a 80% chance of beating it.

That doesn’t compute, IMO.

She should be furious with him for smoking.

I say this as a medical professional; she’s going to be shocked by what he looks like after he’s finished with treatment. I hope she has the fortitude to be by his side through it.

Zeta-Jones said she can't stand the thought of watching her husband undergoing chemotherapy and radiation and loosing his strength as he battles the disease.

I hope Mr. Douglas wins his battle against cancer, but that being said, where in heaven's name are the EDITORS at yahoo-news?
"LOOSING his strength"? Good grief!

[VOA]

Well, I’ll PRAY HARD for Mr. Douglas.

“Falling Down” and being Producer/Director (?) of “One Flew Over The
Cuckoo Nest” buys him a lot of stock with me.

Frank Zappa had the same thing happen to him. He went to doctor after doctor and was told nothing was wrong until his prostate cancer became inoperable.

C'mon people!

54 posts before a picture? Unacceptable!

Who cares? Most of us with cancer go undiagnosed for a period of time. Normal people don’t complain about it.

[Dudoight]

So...doctors should be psychic? Unless one knows the circumstances furious is inappropriate. Disappointed, maybe?

[montag813]

I truly sympathize with Ms. Zeta-Jones, but am also troubled by what I saw on Entertainment Tonight this evening--that she and the two children are in...the BAHAMAS! She actually was quoted as saying "what good is it to be around the house crying when I can take the kids to the beach where they can have fun". I do not want to judge her, and he may well have asked her to take them away. But aren't there beaches near L.A.? And shouldn't she be by her husband's side when he may be facing catastrophic surgery or even death? Just sayin'.

Prayers for Michael Douglas (although I still hate him for wrecking the U.S. nuclear industry with "The China Syndrome")
