Wow. That is ridiculously terrible.

BTW, the National Enquirer broke the story.

Partially true;

Patrick Swayze Diagnosed with Cancer
By Stephen M. Silverman
People Magazine

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."

Maybe "Five Weeks To Live" is the name of a new film of his.

Actually, it's usually the most optomistic prediction for how long his movies will be in theaters.

Tough week for anyone who was in Road House.

Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is the worse cancer to have. Only about 5%chance of beating it. Let's hope he is in that 5% group.

That's absolutely correct. My mother died of pancreatic cancer. It sucked big time.

I have to wonder if it was detected while some other kind of screening was being done and that's why it got caught early enough to treat. Almost always, if it's symptomatic, you're toast.

My dad beat it for 10 years, very, very tough battle.
