New details on Michael Douglas' cancer battle — and that shocking 'oral sex' claim

Description: Michael Douglas reveals in his new memoir, “One Helluva Ride,” that he lost 40 pounds during his brutal battle with stage four throat cancer. In the book, he compares the chemotherapy and radiation to “the seven circles of hell." He also reveals how his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and his father, Kirk Douglas, reacted to the life-threatening illness. Plus, Page Six looks back at the Oscar winner's jaw-dropping 2013 health claim. He previously told The Guardian that "this particular cancer is caused by something called HPV, which actually comes about from cunnilingus.”
