Patrick Swayze Diagnosed With Cancer, Five Weeks Left to Live


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.

That's pretty sad even though I'm not really a Swayze fan. I'm sure fans of Dirty Dancing (women) will be upset to hear this.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That would include my mom. She loves Dirty Dancing... I wonder how she'll take the news?

That's definitely terrible news, imagine if someone told you that you had a month to live. I don't know what I'd do, although I bet Patrick will probably be spending his remaining time with friends and family. Never really cared for the guy's acting, but I didn't really dislike him either.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That's weird, because I just recently met somebody who is apparently engaged to Swayze's sister/half-sister or something.

Guess he won't be attending the wedding. LOLZ!

How ya doing, buddy?

That would suck if it's true, but did you guys see the source of this news?

I'll be more inclined to believe it when it's not coming from a tabloid mag.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hmm... Didn't catch that before. I guess we'll see what happens in the next few weeks.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ok, I stand corrected. The New York Post is reporting his rep confirmed he does indeed have terminal cancer and may very well have only weeks to live.

PATRICK SWAYZE HAS TERMINAL CANCER - New York Post

My grandma died from pancreatic cancer, so I've seen first hand that it is not a fun death, and it can go from perfectly fine to death VERY quickly. This really sucks.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Damn. So a Road House sequel is out of the question.

FELIPE NO

Either way, someone beat him to it.

Is MSNBC a little better?

Patrick Swayze is being treated for pancreatic cancer but is doing well enough to continue working, his representative said Wednesday.

The “Dirty Dancing” actor has a very limited amount of disease and appears to be responding well to treatment, according to Dr. George Fisher, Swayze’s physician. Fisher’s prognosis was included in a statement released Wednesday by Swayze’s representative, Annett Wolf.

“Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects,” the statement said.

It also said earlier reports that Swayze had a matter of weeks to live were exaggerated. “All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.”

Swayze, 55, has two films in the works: the movie “Powder Blue,” and a television movie titled “The Beast,” according to the Web site imdb.com. Both are scheduled for release this year.

The good news is, the 5 weeks to live thing is apparently bullshit, and they're all optimistic about his health.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

wow...didn't expect this piece of news

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yes, as if the rest of us were walking around, massaging our temples - confident - simply waiting . . . waiting . . . for the news that Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer so that we could slowly turn to face society, flash a smug grin, and say "I told you so."

Fucking moron.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Never been a fan of him, but this totally sucks anyways. He is not a bad actor and worked in pretty decent movies. I mean, he did POINT BREAK MAN!!!! Fucking POINT BREAK!!!

The irony of this is that probably he's going to get more job offers than ever. You know, sadly the title "Swayze's last movie" is probably tempting many producers now .

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ah, Point Break, the only movie where you can see Patrick Swayze wearing a Reagan mask throw a pit bull at Keanu Reeves.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

WOLVERINES

Sucks though =( I couldn't give two shits about Ledger (particularly because it was a suicide. Plus Swayze is evidently quite normal unlike 99% of Hollywood. My brother met him about a month back), but this upset me. Whether it's going well or not, cancer is cancer. Ahh well.

FELIPE NO

Don't worry, you all, he will return as "Sam"

I agree with this statement. Though without Meat Loaf it might flop

Morbidly ironic thread revival. The Swayz died today after his long battle with cancer. Post your sadness here.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

As far as actors go he was pretty indifferent for me, but it sucks all the same. Rest in Peace Mr. Swayze.

But it's sad that he's gone Thought he'd be around for decades.

Most amazing jew boots

so the first comment on the Memphis paper's web version of the article?






"nobody puts baby in the corner...."

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Look, he wasn't my man. I just thought he was too old and too square. But he lasted a hell of a long time, and that's worth respect. My prayers are with his family.

FELIPE NO

Sad day. Not really a fan of Dirty Dancing, but he was still a great actor. Initially didn't believe the news considering I first saw it on SA of all places.

Nothing's more awful than a long and drawn-out illness. Saw that he took to smoking pot to alleviate his pain in his final months. Can't wait to see Fox News claim that he died from an overdose while tripping on reefer grass.
