Patrick Swayze Diagnosed With Cancer, Five Weeks Left to Live


Atlanta, GA 3/05/2008  

 

Patrick Swayze, best known for his role in Dirty Dancing, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told that he has just five weeks to live.

Swayze, 55, has been sick with the disease since he was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer. The cancer has since spread to other organs and now the actor/dancer is dying.

For the past month, Swayze has been traveling to Stanford University’s prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatments will be successful, according to the National Enquirer.

Swayze received three treatments of chemotherapy, causing the tumor to shrink, but less than his doctors had hoped for. He was then told that he should prepare for the end.

Sad I always liked him. My favorite aunt died of pancreatic cancer. It is one of the most painful cancers and the sluccess rate after chemo is not good at all.




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..

Shame.

I remember him from such films as Red Dawn, the Outsiders, Roadhouse, next of kin and Donnie Darko.

I have tried to forget him in such films as Dirty dancing and Ghost.  

5 weeks to live ?
:(

sad news indeed.

Most recently I've seen him in "Keeping Mum", great movie! (btw)

He played a pretty scummy character, but he played it well.  ::thumbs::

Sad , if true.  I did a little research, to find out if I could get more info about the story.  So far, though, the only source I can find for the story is the National Enquirer.  As LC said, not sure how reliable the Enquirer is.  I noticed in a picture attached to the story he looked well, but a bit thin.

'people' mag says prior report 'untrue'.

i'm finding contradictory reports online.


Patrick Swayze, who starred in Dirty Dancing and Ghost, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, his doctor says.

"Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far," Dr. Patrick George says in a statement. "All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."

The actor's rep adds: "Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."

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.
