Bruiser_Brody_ 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Patrick Swayze Diagnosed With Cancer, Five Weeks Left to Live Atlanta, GA 3/05/2008 03:05 PM GMT (FINDITT) 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. -------- My momma thought he was hot.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 This sucks. My wife's mom is dying of cancer too. (colon). A couple of years ago she was doing chemo regularly, and it seemingly worked for awhile, but in the last year or so the cancer came back and spread and she just wants to let it be because she can't stand the way the chemo makes her sick for days on end(and the fact that the latest round wasn't stopping the spread of the cancer anyway). Her father is pretty shaken up at the thought of losing his wife, and my wife is pretty sad too. Just having lost my grandmother a few days ago, I hope the rest of 2008 gets better on the family front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaxxson Mayhem 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 UPDATE: His rep issued this statement to TMZ, "Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Patrick's physician Dr. George Fisher states, 'Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.'

It's that serial killer on the loose again! we need Yuna's thoughts on this. Would Swayze be considered "B level" enough for the Pill Popper to strike him down? Plus, a pill that causes pancreatic cancer? Dude, I'm blaming the terrorists. Sam Elliott and Kelly Lynch are probably locking their doors and boarding up their houses as we speak, before the dreaded Road House Curse finds them.
