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.

Hm. He shot a movie at my old school and was a total dick. He ruined the grad party of some of my best friends.
I liked him in Donnie Darko, though.

I am sort of impartial about Swayze but pancreatic cancer is pretty terrible diagnosis. I think it has the highest death rate of all cancers so apprently somebody will be putting Baby in a corner, and sooner rather than later.

It's fucking intense when you realise that Ghost was directed by the man who brought us Airplane.

Last I heard he was. I forget where on the 'net it was, but I remember stumbling across pictures of him looking really terrible not too long ago.
