Val Kilmer Vs. Cancer Update

Bad news hit last year that Val Kilmer was having some health troubles, throat cancer to be exact.  It’s not the type of thing anyone wants to hear.  Now though comes good news, because it seems that Kilmer has it on the ropes.

RadarOnline.com has revealed that Kilmer may be winning his life-or-death battle against throat cancer.  “Val is telling friends that doctors believe they’ve gotten it,” a source tells Radar of the Top Gun star, 56, who “speaks in a whisper and can’t really talk.”  As Radar reported, doctors found a tumor after Kilmer was suddenly hospitalized last January. His mom, Gladys Leach, confirmed at the time that her son had a throat tumor and tracheotomy.

Good to hear.  Now, said the source: “He actually looked pretty good — sturdy and not particularly frail.”
