Business As Usual

Filed under: Patrick Swayze

wenn845027.jpg

Patrick Swayze is determined to live life, despite his grim pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

The actor is involved with a new pilot for the A&E network.

If the show is picked up, his publicist says, Patrick still wants to be involved.

Good for him!

All this Swayze-ness has really gotten us thinking….

THIS is a good video for all to watch!

      Thak you for posting the Randy Pausch lecture, its an amazing piece and there is actually a website by Randy, he is still doing considerably well, considering his diagnosis as well. :) Best of luck to both men. My thoughts are with them…

      I never cared for swayze as an actor, and dirty dancing annoys me, but i hope he comes out of this okay

      I will be praying for Patrick. I am a huge fan! My all time favorite move is dirty dancing. My mom just passed in Nov. from Pancreatic cancer so I know the hard road he has ahead. I have all faith that he can pull through!

      Randy Pausch's last lecture is something all of us should watch with a thought to our own mortality. It's long but it's awesome, well worth the time.

      I really wish that Nip/Tuck would have him on as Sean's brother - they look sooo much alike! I don't think Patrick is "down" with that type of show, however. It's kinda "nasty" for him.

      I truly wish him & his family the best during his fight & recovery.

      #14 - I totally agree! Randy Pausch's lecture should be seen by everyone! I heard that it was on Oprah a short while back, too!

      I am so saddened by this, when I was a little girl Dirty Dancing was my movie… I was so in love with it and seen it about two thousand times, I wish him all the healing in the world and hope he beats this disease and proves all the odds wrong!!! He will be kept in my prayers and hopefully everyone does the same in one way or another.

    24. BLAHBLAH says – reply to this


      24

      Perez you are such a fucking idiot. His "grim" diagnosis… other more reliable, unbiased sites state that his cancer was caught early. Grim makes it sound terminal, you are just as fucked up as The National Enquirer who reported he only had 5 weeks. Get off your lazy ass and lose some fucking weight.

    25. The Waiting says – reply to this


      25

      Good for you, Patrick Swayze.

      Let this be a reminder to EVERYONE:

      LIFE IS SHORT

    26. The Waiting says – reply to this


      26

      Well unfortunately he has cancer of the pancreas, which is the most lethal form of cancers. Even if it's caught early, pancreatic cancer has the highest rate of death of all the cancers

    27. d says – reply to this


      27

      he was a big part of my teen years in the 80's… Dirty Dancing still one of my all time favorite flicks. my prayers are with him. GET WELL Patrick, god bless.

      IS THIS A RECENT PIC? THE DUDE LOOKS GREAT FOR 55! IF I WAS DYING I WOULD QUIT WORKING AND ENJOY MYSELF BUT THAT'S JUST ME…..

    29. Mary K says – reply to this


      29

      This is starting to make me kinda mad! Stop making it sound like he only has a very short time left to live! Did you not read his doctors statment?????? He is responding very well to treatments and he DOESN"T only have 5 weeks left to live. Yes the type of cancer he has does have a very low chance of recovery but not if it is caught in its very early stages. When I read your posts on him you make it sound like he is already dead! Untill the doctor or Patrick come forward and say "yes I only have so many weeks to live" I will belive he is doing well and treatments are helping. He (and his family for that matter) doesn't need to hear everyone talking about how he is going to die! He needs postive words and thoughts right now!

      33

      I work for Carnegie Mellon and Randy is still alive. He's not doing well, but he's not dead. He was given the gift of time with his family for Christmas. If you google him, he has a personal website with health updates and his book will be out in April.

    44. Jenna says – reply to this


      44

      People aren't mourning him but everyone should be educated on Pancreatic Cancer before you say "Oh he'll be fine!" My grandfather was diagnosed four years ago and died within two months. My mother was also diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in October. They say her's was caught as early as it possibly could be, and she is going through treatment. However, because this cancer is so dangerous she is still constantly sick and it is very unlikely that she will live more than five years. It's great to try to be positive and I'm sure he and his family are doing just that, but the "Stop being sad he'll be fine" stuff shouldn't be said unless you have done any research on Pancreatic Cancer

      PANCAN.org is an amazing website and an amazing resource for people with pancreatic cancer. 85% of all money they raise go directly to finding a cure for this cancer that is almost always terminal. So go check it out please!!

      it's a great website for that raises money and awareness about a cancer that is usually terminal and that does not get nearly enough attention. Thanks!

      So sad. He just seems like such a great person and this comes through naturally in many ways (singing, acting, interviews, ect), this is unlike many other Holloywood actors.
      I hope he beats it…god bless you Patrick!!

    51. fraulein_steve says – reply to this


      51

      I always liked him. he was always pretty down to earth in the interviews I saw him in. I just wish he had never sung "She's like the wind"…..that kinda ruins the image for me.

      Randy Pausch's lecture changed my life.

      Ive moved over to the Uk, away from home. Im missing it like mad - at a low point I watched the 'last lecture', and I bawled my eyes out for most of it - esp when he gives his wife the cake, and all that. (But I am an emotionl person anyawys).

      But watching his lecture really made me decide on a few things - if Im not in a happy place when my rent contract is up, Im moving home, starting postgrad, and getting my life on track. Im gonna find a job I love and Im going to do my hardest to make a change on other people, just like Randy did to those who he works with, and educated.

      My thoughts go out to Randy, and his family. Also to Patrick and his family - cancer is awful, and I hope their journeys are pleasant.

      But that video is the most inspirational thing I have ever watched. If you have an hour, there isnt anything I would reccomend doing more.

      Funny that, my dad has wanted me to watch this lecture ever since he saw it first. It all started after I watched the phenomenal film Wit, starring Emma Thompson. It's about her struggle with cancer, and is the most surreal and amazing thing I have ever seen. So my dad talked my into watching Randy Pausch's lecture at Carnegie Mellon. I never thought about it until you reminded me, Perez, so thanks for giving me an excuse to watch it!!

    68. There is HOPE says – reply to this


      68

      Nobody knows how things will turn out, not even his doctor. I work with a man who had pancreatic cancer 10 years ago. He is cancer free, he gave up cigarettes, thank God. Good luck to Patrick, only God knows when He wants us with him, keep your spirit up.

      i hope now that a celebrity has this he can bring some attention to this disease. I hope he does well…my mom died of this last year. God Bless Patrick.

      my thoughts and prayers are w/ mr. swayze and his loved ones. i was deeply impacted by this disease last year when my father died from this form of cancer. there is a survival rate of 5% and most patients die within a year of diagnosis. the problem is that pancreatic cancer is VERY aggressive and extremely painful. i hope that he is one of the 2%. god bless you!

      God Bless him. My grandpa passed away from Pancreatic Cancer. It's such a terrible disease, and hopefully this will bring awareness to it, leading to more research. I loved Patrick Swayze when I was little. I just hope he can spend as much time here as possible.

      Re: Jenna –

      I agree with you Jenna, being a healthcare professional, I know that this type of cancer does not have a very good prognosis. Treatment given is not to get rid of all the cancer, it's actually just to slow down the cancer.
