I watched the Letterman interview, I think it's live when we get it (I know, I should have been asleep by then!). I thought it was very positive, I was impressed with his attitude and having just gone through my own cancer treatment, I understand his attitude. He's determined to do what he can, he's living in hope but also realistic, and easing back on his obligations in order to give his body the best chance of coping with this.
Letterman said, "I wish there was something I could do," and Michael Douglas said, "Give me a hug." But it was almost as if Michael Douglas was reassuring David Letterman, not the other way around.
Good on both of them for raising the profile of this, and also showing that it is possible to LIVE with cancer.
