Patrick Swayze Has Pancreatic Cancer
55-year-old actor Patrick Swayze, who danced his way into our hearts in “Dirty Dancing,” has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs and has been given five weeks to live.
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.
According to the National Enquirer, Swayze has undergone three doses of chemotherapy, but his cancer is not responding and he was told he should “prepare for the end.”
This is devastating news. I hope the Enquirer got it wrong this time. If the rumors are true, our thoughts and prayers go out to Patrick and his family.

Patrick you have inspired so many aspiring actors, its a shame that this has happened to you of all people, you will not be forgotten, you will live on in your movies and the hearts of your fans, i for one will tell my children of you, one of the greatest actors ever born.
Well, it’s now September - 6 months later - and he’s still alive. Always good to have accurate and balanced news. Just goes to show how stupid and uninformed the news outlets really are. I do hope he beats this thing, for his sake and to make raging fools out of reports like this that say he has 5 weeks to live.
In spite of the grim news of only having 5 weeks left to live….. the truth is the treatments are working and he is enjoying his life to the fullest. Patrick is a fighter with a zest for Life. A fine example of hope to all who are suffering from this horrific disease called Cancer.
May you continue to be well and may God bless you.
