Here is the confirmation:

Swayze projects continue despite cancer




By DERRIK J. LANG, AP Entertainment Writer1 hour, 24 minutes ago


Patrick Swayze's doctor is "optimistic" about his prognosis for battling pancreatic cancer, and the "Dirty Dancing" actor's upcoming cable pilot is still in contention to become a series.

With the writer's strike over, the A&E pilot "The Beast," starring Swayze as an unorthodox FBI agent, is being considered to be turned into a series by the cable network. If that happens, the "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" star hopes to continue to be part of the show, his representative Annett Wolf told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Swayze has been undergoing treatment for the disease, Wolf confirmed in a statement. The National Cancer Institute estimates there will be 37,680 new cases of pancreatic cancer in 2008 with 34,290 deaths in the U.S.; only five percent of patients live more than five years after being diagnosed.

"Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far," Swayze's physician Dr. George Fisher said in a statement released by Wolf. "All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."

Wolf said Swayze, 55, shot "The Beast" pilot last December and isn't currently working on any new projects. A&E issued a statement Wednesday stating "The Beast" was still in contention to become one of the network's new original drama series and wished Swayze a speedy recovery.

He was in Donnie Darko?  WTF part did he play?  I don't remember him in that flick.

Jim Cunningham ?, the motivational speaker trying to brainwash the kids with his motivational talks and videos ?

The guy Donnie realises is actually a closet paedophile and burns his house down after having a chat with "Frank" in the cinema ?

That was patrick.

I guess it has been too long since I've seen that one.  Thanks for the info, Ninja.  Maybe I'll have to see this one a 2nd time.
Donnie Darko is one of those films that improves with repeated viewings.

thursday. todays enquirer...i hate to admit it, but they are pretty often on the money. due to the nature of pancreatic cancer, i would not be surprised if he is in fact terminal, and publicist and doctors only revealing what Swayze would want them to reveal. :

The NATIONAL ENQUIRER investigation that uncovered Patrick Swayze's deadly cancer paints a far grimmer picture than his publicist's statement about his prognosis.

As the world reacted to our shocking world exclusive that the beloved Hollywood actor and dancer was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer, Swayze's publicist confirmed our report and then released a statement quoting his physician, Dr. George Fisher, saying Patrick has a "limited amount" of the disease and "appears to be responding well to treatment thus far."

But our investigation reveals that despite these publicist-controlled pronouncements, sadly, Swayze's cancer has spread to other organs. People close to him say he's rapidly running out of time.

The ENQUIRER's scoop on the star's tragic situation was picked up by newspapers, TV shows and Web sites throughout the U.S. The full details of Patrick's fight for life are in the new issue of the ENQUIRER that goes on sale today.

LC you may be right just saw this when I googled his name.

Just saw on CNN actor Patrick Swayze died of a heart attack earlier this afternoon at the age of 54.


 




Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up worn out screaming what a ride..

While living in Europe in 1897, American writer MARK TWAIN discovered that at least one U. S. newspaper had reported his death. Somehow information in a letter about one of Twain's dying relatives got twisted around, the paper reported Twain dead and eventually word reached the author across the Atlantic. Twain drily wrote to a friend, "The report of my death was an exaggeration." (He is also said to have told a reporter for the Evening Sun newspaper that "Reports of my death are grossly exaggerated.") Twain died in 1910.

i imagine Mr. Swayze might say the same thing today.
