“There’s no question it’s been a stressful year,” the friend says. “Catherine has had to deal with Michael’s illness and that’s been hard. She went in for a few days because she’s about to start working, and wanted to make sure she’s in top form, which she is.”
Her husband Michael Douglas has been fighting cancer, he has now been declared as free of cancer after 6 months of chemotherapy and radiation.
