Catherine Zeta Jones is furious that doctors didn't discover her husband's cancer diagnosis sooner.
Zeta-Jones' husband, Michael Douglas, said he spent months seeking answers for persistent ear and throat pain he felt, but that no cause was found until he received the cancer diagnosis in early August.
"It makes me furious they didn't detect it earlier," Zeta-Jones told People magazine. "He sought every option and nothing was found."
She says that she knew there was something up.
In the interview she confessed that she has difficulty watching the toll the treatment is taking on her husband.
"I know maybe I should be stronger, but emotionally I just don't want to see that," she said. "The hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired."
She said Douglas broke the news to their children, Dylan, 10, and Carys, 7.
Throat cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in an abnormal way in the throat. The throat is the hollow tube that runs from behind the nose and mouth, down the neck, to the opening of the esophagus and windpipe.
