    Default Patrick Swayze (sp?) only has five weeks to live

    Some of you may be too young to have seen any of his films, yet 'Dirty Dancing' and 'Ghost' are the ultimate in sappy chick flicks.

    Apparently he has panceratic cancer, which spreads quickly.

    I could have sworn I saw him on Oprah, while I was getting my nails done (I am not a talk show fan. Not enough time on my hands). It was an anniversary for 'Dirty Dancing'.

    He was dancing up and storm and looked graceful and healthy. He had apparently finished a documenatary with his wife about ballet dancing, in which he did all his own dancing.

    I guess it must spread fast.

    He just seemed like a nice, affable, drama free celebrity.

    WHOA.

    How sad! I bet he'll be doing some sort of charity or fundraising to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer. Poor Patrick. Icon to women all over the world.

    OMG

    Dirty Dancing is my favorite movie. I also loved him in Ghost.

    Pancreatic cancer is extremely aggressive. Remission is very very rare.

    The National Enquirer is reporting "exclusively"..so take the info with a HUGE grain of salt until it is confirmed by a more reliable source.

    Yea I just read online that the story was reported by the National Enquirer and my first thought was "hmmm". According to close sources he has been looking fine and has been at rehearsals for a new movie coming out.

    I found it on defamer.com I know the sources aren't the most reliable. That's why I said 'apparently'.

    However, a few months ago he was admitted to the hospital for some a digestive system thing. Now that was true.

    Having worked therapeutically with patients and their families as they coped with the impact of a terminal diagnosis, I'd hazard that any physician who gave Mr. Swayze precisely "5 weeks to live" made a bold (perhaps even reckless)statement...

    I had a family friend who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year. She was given six months but was gone three months later

    Pancreatic cancer is a FAST killer and has no real treatment.

    It's very sad

    This is what I was TERRIFIED of when I was being diagnosed...until they confirmed pancreatitis,pancreatic cancer was a concern. And survival rates are extremely low..and its usually an excrutiating death. So even though my condition is incurable...it could have been a LOT worse.

    In the end stages of pancreatic cancer, it is unlikely that he would have the ability to be on a set doing anything...so I've got a lot of hope that this isnt true.

    It WAS reported that he checked into Stanford University Medical Center for a "serious gastro-intestinal procedure" which could be anything from an appendectomy to a colonoscopy. He is reportedly home and feeling fine.

    That's what my mom died from. Yes, it spreads fast. And, Cam, I've had acute pancreatitis twice in my life now. Don't know if that means I'm more prone to that type of cancer or not, but it's scary as hell. I was with my mom the entire last month of her life, and there's NO WAY I want to go through that! I feel bad if Patrick Swayze really does have it...

    My grandmother just died of pancreatic cancer. Over 85% of people diagnosed with it are dead within the first year, and many are dead within six months. Almost no one survives it. It's probably the worst cancer diagnosis you can get, and it is not a pretty way to die. I'm not much of a Patrick Swayze fan but I really hope this is just a rumor, because I wouldn't wish pancreatic cancer on anyone.

    My uncle died of pancreatic cancer. He was a professional athlete, and always very healthy. He was in his 40's. My prayers to Swayzee's family. He is from Houston, and my best friend's mom took dance lessons in his parent's dance studio. I always thought it was amazing that he was such a talented dancer, and had such an amazing romance with his wife.

    Ok..nobody yelled at me, so I'm reposting.

    Yeah it sucks. I actually have chronic pancreatitis(was born with it) with bouts of acute. My Dr told me it could make me more suseptible to pancreatic cancer...but that I shouldnt worry about it, the risk was low.I dont know about just acute though as opposed to chronic.

    This is so sad. i hope that it's not cancer, hopefully its something less serious. I love Dirty Dancing, its still one of my favourite films. How old is he, Dirty Dancing wasn't that long ago, he must only be in his late 40s? 50s?
