Patrick Swayze Dying?
Apparently so... of pancreatic cancer. The rumor is he has roughly 5 weeks as it has already begun to spread despite radical chemo therapy.

Oh, that really breaks my heart. I fell in love with him in "The Outsiders". Loved him even more in "Red Dawn".

I met him. No, seriously, my Mom did real estate in Southern California in the 80s and sold his mom the ranch she bought back then and he came with her to sign some stuff and I happened to be with my mom that day. Granted, I was about 5 years old at the time, but damn it, I met him!!! My mom tells me, he picked me up and put me on the door of the bed of his truck and I commented on how it stank (he had horse stuff in the bed of it). And he was my first celebrity crush later when I saw him in one of my all time favorite movies, Dirty Dancing. So so sad

Wow. Pancreatic cancer is BAD. Everyone I knew who has had it went very quickly and doctors never gave them a rosey outlook.
It is so sad.

My grandmother and uncle have both died from pancreatic cancer. They both died within months of their dignosis (sp). I will be praying for Patrick and his family during this difficult time.

Soo true. My great aunt was diagnosed with it, and 3 months later she passed.
My prayers go out to him

Oooh Outsiders! L-O-V-E-D that movie! It is unbelievable how many future (now past?!?) stars are in it!
I am so glad that you went there instead of Dirty Dancing!
Very sad news about him though. This is a terrible disease that virtually always wins.

No! This is so sad. It's such a horrible disease.
SthrnZeta, I met him too. My sister and I went dancing with him when I was 16. He was real sweet.
ETA: There are conflicting reports about the severity. A statement from his doctor:
"Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue," Fisher said in the statement. "We are considerably more optimistic."
I'm going to be optimistic too.

According to the MSN report, the cancer is contained and he is recovering well.

I had forgotten about that skit. He was so funny!
No one is giong to mention him in Ghost. "Ditto!"
I didn't want to beleive it at first, because I heard the National Enquirer broke the story. I guess his reps have confirmed it now. So sad! Michael Landon died from pancreatic cancer, didn't he?

The WIERDEST thing just happened...
Just as I was reading this thread, and wondering if it were indeed true, the news guy on FoxNews started reporting on Patrick Swayze and his fight with pancreatic cancer.
WIERD!
So sad.

I found a copy of the clip. http://www.evtv1.com/player.aspx?itemnum=1422 in case anyone hasn't seen it by this point. It makes me laugh every time. I hope that he recovers and is still with us for awhile.
