Patrick Swayze
Did anyone else see this??
http://www.nationalenquirer.com/patr...elebrity/64581 Patrick Swayze has five weeks to live, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned. In a shocking world exclusive, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has uncovered the devastating news that the beloved Hollywood actor and dancer was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs. Full details are in the print edition of the NATIONAL ENQUIRER that goes on sale tomorrow. For the past month, Patrick, 55, 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. Patrick and his wife Lisa Niemi — who both have pilot's licenses — have been flying their private Beechcraft plane into Palo Alto's airport, minutes away from the Stanford Cancer Center, where the actor has received outpatient treatment. He received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less than his doctors had hoped for — and Patrick was told he should prepare for the end. "He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short - they held out little hope for a cure," said an insider. The man who danced into the hearts of audiences worldwide in the 1980s in Dirty Dancing and then broke them in the poignant love story Ghost in the early '90s has lost more than 20 pounds in the past few weeks and is restricted to a liquid diet because he has trouble keeping down solid food, added the insider. "It's time to start praying for a miracle."

Who didn't love 'Dirty Dancing'? It was such a light, nice movie with good music. Poor Patrick Swayze. One of the nurses I work with once told me, "If your doctor ever says 'pancreatic cancer' to you, you might as well just start settling your affairs."
It's such an insidious cancer, and it's all very sad for this actor who made so many people happy, and for his family. If it's true.

I really like him and that is so horrible. Remember that old Barbara Walters special where he was a guest and there was a clip of him performing a ballet piece with his wife in their home dance studio...that was lovely. This is so sad.

Not that I don't appreciate him for his real acting roles, but when I think Swayze, I recall that SNL skit w/ him & Chris Farley vying for the Chip N' Dales spot. LMFAO! It is SO funny. If we lost Swayze, then watching that skit wouldn't be so funny anymore, as we'd have lost 2 great actors of our time. I hope this isn't true, but if it is, my thoughts are w/ he & his fam!

Official Statement
"Actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment.

All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.'

The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."
