The 66- year-old Oscar winning actor had been diagnosed with stage-4 throat cancer earlier this year.

When asked about the eight-week stay in hospital, all that Michael Douglas managed to say was that, he is glad it has come to an end. A statement given to the media by Allen Burry, the publicist of the actor, states that Michael Douglas does not require further chemo or radiation for the time being.
