Patrick Swayze Dying?

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

WOLVERINES!!!!!!

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.

This really sucks. I love him in To Wong Foo.

I will be optimistic as well. While is a nasty disease....after being diagnosis in July 2007, my sister was declared pancreatic cancer free on 15 February 2008!! It was a tough course.

The one difference I see, is they say he is only getting chemo and not having any surgery. My sister had chemo, radiation AND the surgery (which is really a b!tch procedure to endure).

I loved "Red Dawn"! He was the best in that and "Dirty Dancing". I wanna get the 20th anniversary DVD of "Dirty Dancing". It's really sad that this had to happen to him.
