Well here's some rather great news from [E! Online](http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b219731_michael_douglas_talks_cancer_ive_got_it.html): The prolific, highly-regarded, and effortlessly cool [Michael Douglas](http://www.moviefone.com/celebrity/michael-douglas/1126229/main) believes he has won his battle with throat cancer -- and he's looking to get back to work as soon as possible. (He's about to get underway on Steven Soderbergh's 'Liberace'](http://www.moviefone.com/movie/liberace/1414584/main) movie!)
Here's an excerpt from an interview between Michael Douglas and 'The Today Show's' Matt Lauer: "I feel good, relieved. The tumor is gone ... I have to check out on a monthly basis now to maintain. I guess there's not a total euphoria. I'll probably take a couple of months of getting checked out. But it's been a wild six-month ride ... I think the odds are with the tumor gone and what I know about this particular type of cancer that I've got it beat."
