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.

Pancreatic cancer is rough. By the time you catch it, it almost always has metastasized 🙁

Ominously, he was in Roadhouse with Jeff Healey. If bad things happen in threes, I wonder who's next - Sam Elliott?

That's too bad. Sad to see anyone die so young, particularly when it appears he was a guy who took pretty good care of himself. It must be an awful feeling to hear that you have 5 weeks to live - by some standards it's a long time to dwell on the negative, yet it isn't long enough to do much of anything. I hope he pulls a Lance Armstrong-style miraculous recovery.

I dunno, if it's not true, this is some great publicity for him.

He can come back with a musical to announce his good health.

All over the place but no one that has any sort of confirmation.

Sure hope it's not true though. 5 weeks isn't much time...
