Patrick Swayze, 55, has pancreatic cancer.
The actor's publicist released this statement Wednesday afternoon:
"Actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is
currently undergoing treatment. Patrick's physician Dr. George Fisher states,
'Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding
well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis
and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.'
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." Soooo very very sad! Alot!Patrick sung "She's like the wind" for Dirty Dancing. It was and still is a classic!!!
My most favorite comedian Bill Hicks died of pancreatic cancer.
It's a swift, painfully cruel kind of cancer. The average life expectancy
of someone diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas is six to nine months.
Only 4% of patients with pancreatic cancer live more than five years.
Bill died only 6 short months after being diagnosed. He was only 32.(Love you, miss you Bill!!!)
