Swayze’s spokeswoman declined to comment last night but the New York Post said that a representative for the actor had confirmed his illness.
Most patients die within six months of pancreatic cancer being diagnosed because symptoms may not appear until it is very advanced. Last month, it was reported in a New York newspaper that Swayze had undergone surgery for a serious “gastro-intestinal procedure”.
“Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far,” Dr. George Fisher 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.”
Patrick Swayze famed for his role in the 1987 hit movie Dirty Dancing in which Swayze starred with Jennifer Grey. He starred opposite Demi Moore in the blockbuster movie Ghost in 1990.
One thing very impressive about Swayze besides his acting, he’s been married to his wife, Lisa Niemi since 1975. The couple have been together since Lisa’s 15. That is what I call amazing especially in Hollywood!
Let’s keep Patrick Swayze in our prayers. Prayers are very powerful. May he have a speedy recovery!
