Heartbreaking!

Filed under: Patrick Swayze

ps.jpg

The National Enquirer has the most recent images of Patrick Swayze on their cover.

The actor was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January of 2008.

The life expectancy of most people is just 6 to 12 months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Patrick's a fighter!

Hopefully he's not in pain.

  4. 4

    :(



  5. 5

  6. 6

    its such a shame he's dying this way.
    he deserves so much more.



  7. 7

    WOW who knew the Octo mom was nuts?



  8. 8

    I hope he's not in too much pain x



  9. 9

    wow…..



  10. 10

    At lest he doesn't look like Quagmire anymoere.



  11. 11

    its so hard to believe we are about to lose him =[ Bless your sould Patrick



  12. 12

    my uncle died from the same thing, I don't thinks theres a way hes NOT in any pain, even morphine wasnt helping him
    my thoughts go out to him and his family



  13. 13

    nobody puts baby in the corner

    I hope he's smoking weed and watching dirty dancing



  14. 14

    my god



  15. 15

    THE END–nice headline, Enquirer. How much money can you make by destroying someone's dignity??



  16. 16

    this is so sad, definitely proud of Swayze



  17. 17

    now you get your "news" from the national enquirer???!!!??? they print articles about babies with like 3 heads and the loch ness monster eating people alive……

  18. Hole says – reply to this


    18

    That so sucks…he is like the older brother to every kid in the 80's.



  19. 19

    Damn…
    May god be with you Patrick.



  20. 20

    I love this whole photo now that I look at it, sign of our times



  21. 21

    SO SAD. THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER IS EVIL FOR DOING THIS TO HIM.
    THEY SHOULD BE SO ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR EXPLOITING THIS POOR MAN.



  22. 22

    OMG… This breaks my heart!! I love Patrick



  23. 23

    Hopefully he's not in pain? Have you ever been around someone who's dying of cancer? They are in constant pain that not even the strongest meds unless they are in an induced coma can help. You're such a fucking idiot!



  24. 24

    this is so sad. I wish him nothing but the best. I love his show (the beast) , and I can't imagine it going on without him. Prayers and thoughts are with him.

  25. LeBon says – reply to this


    25

    I know he's a celebrity but now is the time to stop taking sneak photos of him. If he makes a deliberate public appearance that is one thing but sneaking photos of him right now is lame, as so is that Enquirer headline.



  26. 26

    what a horrible magazine title.



  27. 27

    pancreatic cancer is one of the cruelist cancers fast and it can be painful, but I am sure if he asks if he is in pain, he will be medicated. the doctors are not going to let him be in pain if he or his wife ask for pain medication-that does not happen to celebrities, only to regular people in hospitals where the floors are understaffed



  28. 28

    Re: harrybalsac – u are ridiculous.shut up



  29. 29

    On another note, I had the weirdest dream. Perez, Jade Goody, and myself were all in a bed sleeping. And Perez kept asking me to check and see if she stopped breathing. MORBID



  30. 30

    Ah, shit - this just plain sucks. I'm gonna go watch 'Dirty Dancing' right now. Don't think my fragile heart could take a viewing of 'Ghost'!



  31. 31

    Fight Patrick Fight Fight Fight!!!



  32. 32

    I like the top corner article-octomom is nuts-did the enquirer just realize this?



  33. 33

    God bless you, dear Patrick.



  34. 34

    this is the way to handle cancer, jade goody should take note



  35. 35

    Its incredible that he keeps going and going like this. What a fascinating human being he is. I think its great that he is living his life to the fullest that he can and not laying in a hospital bed literally wasting away. God Bless and thanks for the movies.



  36. 36

    Re: Miss J. Uppercut – I was going to listen to the cd of dd the other day, but I couldn't -I had seen a pic of him. I knew he was near the end of his life journey.

  37. t_ink says – reply to this


    37

    oh my gosh! :S Poor guy!!



  38. 38

    Poor Patrick. I hope they can keep him comfortable. He's awesome



  39. 39

    Very sad! :(



  40. 40

    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sad. He always seemed like such a nice person. I think thats what everyone will miss most about him



  41. 41

    …and thanks for some beautiful music…Shes like the wind…I love that song.



  42. 42

    WHY CAN'T THEY WAIT TILL IT REALLY IS THE END TO PRINT THAT…HOW DARE THEY I WILL NEVER BUY THAT FUCKEN TRASH ….LEAVE HIM ALONE…..IT'S THE END OF THE ENQUIRER….TAKE IT DOWN PEREZ



  43. 43

    God be with you. You left a great body of work behind and more importantly lots of love and you should be proud of what you've accomplished.



  44. 44

    I had 2 family members die of this disease last year. It is awful. He doesn't look to yellow yet. When he looks bright yellow thats how you will know its the end



  45. 45

    Leave the man some peace! he's dying.



  46. 46

    Patrick may God be with you! Ihope that you arent in pain. You are an amazing man!



  47. 47

    Re: justtfax
    I know, right?
    'I've Had The Time Of My Life' is just gonna make me all sad now. Who'd have thought that song could be anything but uplifting??



  48. 48

    Oh! That is so sad! My heart goes out to him and his family!



  49. 49

    Those pictures look like James Carvell…not Patrick Swazey… it is the enquirer after all…but if it is him they should just let him die in peace.



  50. 50

    Don't belive Natinal Enquirer… they are so mean



  51. 51

    my heart & prayers go out to him
    XXOOOX



  52. 52

    Poor dude. he has really fought hard against it. God Bless him.



  53. 53

    :( Sad face.
    Press should leave him be. At least he isn't making a massive deal out of it like Jade Goody.



  54. 54

    This is so sad. He's not Jade Goody. He wants his privacy, and if that can't be respected at this time, then when?
    .
    Remember he's still battling this.
    They show a close-up of a chemo-catheter… aggressive chemo makes you lose your hair and lose weight. He's still fighting this… I would not write him off yet.
    .
    Best wishes



  55. 55

    I love Patrick. He is such a great human being. He has been married to his wife for 34 years! He met her when she was a student in his mother's ballet school, she was just 15 and he was 19, and he loved her his whole life. Patrick has a heart of gold.
    May god be with you, Patrick.



  56. 56

    They should put THIS pic on the side of cigarette pack. He still smokes like 3-4 packs a day right? His pancreas is DYING. Pancreatic cancer happens because people are heavy smokers who excessively drink alcohol. Very curable disease. Never pick up a cigarette.



  57. 57

    Re: the_big_Boss – My wife wants me to tell you to spit out that dick.



  58. 58

    There are a myriad of "cocktails" to help alleviate the pain associated with cancer, so hopefully Patrick Swayze is resting comfortably. He is to be admired for his courage and demeanor throughout this ordeal.



  59. 59

    At least he is not whoring himself out like that other chick….God bless you Patrick.



  60. 60

    Oh no :(
    This is awful



  61. 61

    God bless him!!



  62. 62

    Red Dawn, Outsiders, Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Roadhouse. Movies that deined a generation of kids from the 80s. Please leave him alone and let him have some dignity.

    WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    63

    My neighbor died from pancreatic cancer in october. She was only 53. Unfortunately in was an extremely painful end for her. My prayers are with Patrick and his family.



  64. 64

    Bless you Patrick! You have brought so much joy with your movies.



  65. 65

    Oh and F you Perez for showing this trash. I know this is a gossip site but some things are even beneath you!



  66. 66

    Oh my, that is so heartbreaking. I hope he is not in too much pain but feeling the pain means your still alive.



  67. 67

    Re: JamieC – JAMES CARVELL!
    I couldnt think of his name..without the glasses you can definitely tell its Swayze



  68. 68

    Re: genetliam – i agree. perez, why do you always write things like "i hope he's not in pain" or "hopefully it's not too painful"? is that your way of seeming like you care? because obviously they are in pain - if not physically then emotionally. if you really cared you would let these people have their privacy.



  69. 69

    He should have given alternative treatments a try before he got to this point. Modern medicine kills well over 100k people a year.



  70. 70

    ph pshaw, that's not Patrick, that's actually James Carville.



  71. 71

    This is heartbreaking.
    He's always been one of my favorite actors.
    For this to happen to anyone is really sad, but I don't want to see him go!



  72. 72

    ~~~~THE END? REALLY? LAST I KNEW HE WAS STILL FIGHTING. THIS IS A HORRIBLE HEADLINE FROM A HORRIBLE SOURCE.~~~~



  73. 73

    I love Patrick Swayze! He's so thin now but did they really have to plaster him all over the cover like this with THE END over it? The national inquirer is so pathetic



  74. 74

    I'm sorry his health is failing and he is in pain. Patrick Swayze is a great actor and like so many others, I feel blessed that he shared his talent with the world.



  75. 75

    I'm mad the enquirer would take photos of him and put it on the front page to make a profit, instead of giving him privacy in this hard time.

    Patrick Swayze is a good man, and my heart goes out to him and his family.



  76. 76

    those photos seem pretty DISRESPECTFUL.

    God bless him…



  77. 77

    We love you so much Patrick. God bless you.

    Perez please send our love to the one and only "Swaze" himself.



  78. 78

    bless his heart, keep fighting Patrick.



  79. 79

    very sad i hope he stopped smoking.

  80. Timmy says – reply to this


    80

    I thought he recovered and his cancer was in remission??? WTF???



  81. 81

    Of course he's in pain you jackaass.

    Bless his heart. We will always love you, Patrick.

  82. epic says – reply to this


    82

    fuck! =( at first i thought it was paul newman.. gosh, that was quick.



  83. 83

    That picture makes me sad. Cancer is such a thief, it steals loved ones away. I hope his suffering ends soon, he must be in some awful pain.
    He's fought a valiant fight. Kudos to you, Patrick, you are loved and admired by many!

  84. ambam says – reply to this


    84

    He's in my thoughts & prayers.



  85. 85

    awww, Patrick….he looks like a different person. much love for u Patrick



  86. 86

    this just breaks my heart……….



  87. 87

    May God be with you, Patrick.

    I will see you at the Double Deuce in the sky.



  88. 88

    Sad very Sad, reminds me of a great manager i reported that died of the same sit. Very sad



  89. 89

    Dear Patrick ~

    God Bless You and Your Family. Thank you for the many wonderful movies you created which will live on. You have brought me many happy movie-moments.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you as you battle against this absolutely hideous disease.



  90. 90

    What a way to start an optimistic day Piglet… Jade Goody's pics, P. Swayze, the killings… what's next??? reporting on how many where laid off the last week???
    Way to depress the shit out of us!
    ANyways I find so disrespectful that there are paps following this guy, give him some dignity and let him live the rest of his life in peace!



  91. 91

    a classy person would just kill himself and save the resources for someone else. At least his book won't come out, I hope.

    Take your lumps, say your goodbyes…..dive off a waterfall…..

    and those pictures are really completely unnecessary, as is your carbon-copying of them.

  92. zalie says – reply to this


    92

    I love Patrick Swayze. What a hard time for him and his family. While I suppose I'm appreciative, as a fan, for the update and even the opportunity to see these pictures, we shouldn't. He and his wife Lisa are in my prayers. How very, very sad.



  93. 93

    Cancer has turned him into an old man…I feel bad for his family, especially his soulmate Lisa…so fucking sad…



  94. 94

    omg! he looks like benjamin button.
    i still remember him in ghost, the outsiders, + dirty dancing



  95. 95

    I know Patrick feels terrible about leaving his beloved animals when he dies. For Jade Goody it is two young sons. We all ache when the time comes to say good-bye, there are always people or animals who will suffer and miss us terribly. Here's looking at you kid, and hope there is not too much suffering.



  96. 96

    So, so, so sad…there isn't a woman I know of my generation (baby boomer) who didn't get wet from watching "Dirty Dancing"…just saw the musical in Boston on Feb 14th, and his "replacement" can't touch him…I saw Gone witht he Wind at a theater the first time I saw it, but "DD" is the ultimate in female porn. Chicks got WET watching this guy–a lot! I hope he got a lot of action out of it. Am sorry for him. Nice guy.



  97. 97

    No offense, but that looks more like James Cargil than Patrick.



  98. 98

    WHILE SOME OF YOU ARE CRITICIZING JANE GOODY FOR KEEPING HERSELF IN THE PUBLIC EYE, YOU FORGET SHE INTENTIONALLY DECIDED TO DO THAT IN ORDER TO MAKE AS MUCH $$ AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SHE DIED FOR HER KIDS. SHE'S NOT A REAL CELEBRITY…ONLY BIG BROTHER…AND DOESN'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO MAKE SURE HER FAMILY IS WELL CARED FOR. PERSONALLY, I RESPECT HER FOR IT.



  99. 99

    Oh My God….those pictures.

    So sad!



  100. 100

    This HURTS seeing him like this!!! The National Enquirer are a bunch of idiot a**h***s for this title!!!!! :(
