R.I.P Patrick Swayze

[OhJane]

March 5, 2008 -- Twinkle-toed tough guy Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and might only have weeks to live, a rep for the dirty dancer said today.
Swazyze's publicist confirmed to Page Six that he's suffering from pancreatic cancer, which could tragically bring down the curtain on his remarkably diverse career.
Swazye was diagnosed with the cancer more than a month ago.
The average life expectancy is six to nine months, with only 4 percent of patients live more than five years.

[Street_a_Licious]

i didnt believe it when the National Enquirer posted that story (cuz, srsly, who believes the NE these days?) but since it was confirmed via pagesix...

i still hope it's just a bad bad joke, but i doubt it.

They confirmed that he has cancer, but the five weeks to live part is false.

Still though...it is pretty grim.

 

[Hipkitten]

Awww...I was hoping this wasn't true

 

[LUXXX]

I had no idea cancer of the pancreas was so grim...it's eye opening. I never knew anyone who had it...

 

[Mr-Dale]

WHAAAAT?! Na-ah I love him!

Read the TMZ article I linked to. He does have cancer, but he is responding to treatment.

Could someone please change the title of this topic, now that it's confirmed that the cancer is not terminal?

Patrick Swayze, who starred in Dirty Dancing and Ghost, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, his doctor says.

"Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far," Dr. Patrick George says in a statement. "All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."

The actor's rep adds: "Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."

I'm glad that he is trying to live a normal life, despite the cancer. Although the situation is very sad. =[
