Since being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year, Patrick has been receiving treatment at Stanford Medical Center. Patrick admitted to smoking up to 3 packs of ciggies a day and thinks that may have been a cause of his cancer.

Patrick Swayze arrived at LAX yesterday and told the paps:

“I’m cookin’. I’m a miracle dude! I don’t know why.”

I know why. My nightly chanting of “She’s Like the Wind” must have paid off. It’s nice to see his ass looking hot. Hopefully, he quits the ciggies and continues to do well.

Patrick Swayze issued a statement this week that said he had an “excellent” response to treatment for his pancreatic cancer.

“We’re thrilled and grateful for the positive response Patrick has shown towards his treatment,” the Dirty Dancing star and wife Lisa Niemi tell People.

“Also, we can’t help but feel that all the prayers, meditations and good thoughts sent his way by everyone has made a difference. Thank you!” said the couple.

His physician, Dr. George Fisher, added: “Patrick Swayze continues to respond well to his treatment for pancreatic cancer. Because of his excellent response, he will continue the same therapy at Stanford.”

Patrick confirmed rumors last month that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of cancer. The 55 year old actor has undergone chemotherapy to treat the disease.

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!
