The actor was diagnosed with stage IV cancer, and instead of disappearing from the public eye, he's hustling to raise funds for people with cancer.
Michael Douglas having stage IV cancer means that it has spread beyond the throat, where it originated, to the lips and mouth. That means more treatments, chemo, and surgery for most patients, so it's amazing that Michael Douglas is still pursuing particular promotional activities in addition to this new telethon on schedule.
Michael, who is promoting Wall St. 2, will be participating in a September 10th telethon from New York City. He won't be alone, either, with stars like George Clooney, Renee Zellweger, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Lance Armstrong supporting him.
If you're curious how much you'll think they're going to make, the last Stand Up 2 Cancer drive made $100 million in 2008. It's just one hour on September 10th, on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, and more!
