UPDATE: Patrick Swayze died on September 14, 2009
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.
