Michael Douglas: Stress To Blame For Throat Cancer

Michael Douglas says stress may be to blame for his battle with throat cancer. In an interview with London's "Daily Mirror," the ailing actor said, quote, "This type of cancer can be brought on by alcohol and tobacco abuse and a certain type of sexually transmitted reason, but I look on it as stress." The 66-year-old actor said he had had a "pretty stressful" year on a number of fronts, adding that some of he issues he had to deal with were public while others were not. Earlier this year, Douglas' son Cameron was jailed for five years after pleading guilty to dealing drugs. Douglas' comments came ahead of the release of his latest film "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" this weekend. The actor revealed in August that he is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment for advance stage four throat cancer. Michael Douglas turned 66 years old on Saturday.
