Patrick Battles Pancreatic Cancer

PatrickSwayzeChristmas.jpgYari Film Group/Christmas in Wonderland

Yes, it's (sadly) true - Ghost star Patrick Swayze has cancer.

His physician, Dr. George Fisher, says in a statement that "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far."

And of the reports claiming the actor may only have weeks to live? "Absolutely untrue," says Fisher. "We are considerably more optimistic."

Our best wishes to Patrick and his family and friends during this difficult time...



Get better!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I love Patrick Swayze. My prayers are with him. I'm going to go watch The Outsiders & Dirty Dancing; and cry!:((((((((

As I said HOURS AGO on TMZ, I pray that it is true that it was caught early and Patrick makes it or at least has more time than it seems. I love the guy's acting. Ghost, The Outsiders, Roadhouse, Dirty Dancing etc.

Prayers and strength to you, Patrick!

SO glad to hear that the doctors are optimistic. This guy seems like such a cool dude. And I love his dancing/acting. Really hope he makes it.

I belong to a grief group for loved ones of cancer victims. Of all the people with loved ones stricken with pancreatic cancer.. not one of those loved ones survived more than 3 months. Even with treatment, they went through hell the whole time.
I think of Michael Landon; announced his in April and died July 1.

Sadly, pancreatic cancer is almost always fatal. I hope Patrick beats it, but the odds are not in his favor.

No matter what spin they put on this story, with pancreatic cancer Patrick had better set his affairs in order - he is on his way out.

In a few years there will be transplants of pancreas too but we're not at that stage yet.

He is a cuttie. I saw his profile on millionaire&celeb dating site "WealthyRomance.com"
last week. Is he single now? Just curious.

You have to be optimistic with pancreated cancer because that is all you have left. That disease is a killer and I agree with the above poster who stated that people diagnosed with this disease don't live over 6 months, none that I have hear of in any case.

Guess there won't be a sequel to "Roadhouse" now. Dammit.

It is true.I saw the man on "SeekingRich.com"last week.

Posted by: Linna


Terrible, yes.....love him in everything he does. Did you see him on Oprah a few weeks ago? He looked good then.

It is true; most pancreatic caner is fatal. I have been in the medical field for 15 years and have yet to see someone live through it.

Still love ya Pat!! Loved your Mom's dance studio in Simi Valley!!!!!

My cousin was diagnosed in July and passed away in December. It is a fast killer. However, If Patrick has fullfilled his contract with God, then it is his time to go home and we should be happy for him. We grieve because we have been left behind. Earth is the real Hell and he will be with God. Be happy for him and supportive of those left behind.

I have always loved you and said to everyone if I could meet my favorite actor it would be PatricK SWAYZE. I will continue to pray for you cuz only God knows what he needs from you.
