Kilmer said he spoke to Douglas nearly two years ago about recommending a specialist for a lump in his throat. The 56-year-old Kilmer said he was treated at UCLA and still has a swollen tongue, but is "rehabbing steadily."
The actor said he's made three films in the last year, including one about his one-man Mark Twain play, "Cinema Twain." He also co-stars in Tomas Alfredson's Jo Nesbo adaptation "The Snowman," due out next year.

In a Facebook post Tuesday evening, Kilmer said he has "no cancer whatsoever." At a London event on Sunday, Douglas had said Kilmer was "dealing with" throat cancer, which Douglas was diagnosed with in 2010.
