We Pray To God This Is Not True

Filed under: Sad Sad

wenn1140717.jpg

We really hope this is just a vicious and malicious lie and that he sues them for spreading untruths.

We really really really hope it's a lie, but….

The National Enquirer is reporting exclusively that beloved Dirty Dancing and Ghost actor Patrick Swayze is dying of cancer and has only five weeks to live.

WTF????

Please say this isn't true!!!!

Let us all pray his publicist issues an immediate denial because this is just awful and sad and we can barely type this because we're crying so much.

Patrick is only 55 years old!!!!!!

The Enquirer claims that for the past month he’s been getting radical treatment at Stanford (they have a major cancer center), and flying up there in his private plane.

According to them, the cancer is in Swayze's pancreas and has quickly spread. The treatment does not seem to be working.

Please be WRONG!

And, if they are not wrong….

Let us send positive energy Patrick's way so that he is not in pain and to his family so that they remain strong during this most excruciatingly difficult time.

Heartbreakingly sad!

    My father is suffering from cancer right now too and he went through all the treatments and it didn't help. It is so sad to see the ones you love waste away. I hope this is not true…….not becasue he is a celeb but because he is person! I wouldn't wish this on anyone even my worst enemy. If it is true I pray for him and his family.

    127

    Doubt it… he's a native Houstonian, and WE have the BEST cancer treatment facility in the whole freakin' world. If he were going to be treated anywhere, it would be here in Houston, not at Stanford I bet. So, until we see him round our neck of the woods, I bet it's all fluff.

  28. joybeeme says – reply to this


    128

    I hope it isn't true. Great actor! So sad. All cancer is terrible but pancreatic is HORRIBLE!!! Five weeks is too 4 weeks too long if it is pancreatic :-(

  29. kimmm says – reply to this


    129

    the national enquirer sometimes stumbles upon real news stories though!
    this is so sad ….. it can't be true!!!
    My prays are with Patrick and his family

  30. vanessa says – reply to this


    130

    Thats so sad. I just recently had an uncle who passed away from pancreatic cancer. He was only 46. Worst cancer to have. Lets pray that it isnt true.

  31. Cancer sucks says – reply to this


    131

    I agree with the first comment by Jen. My dad just got diagnosed with stage IV cancer at the very young age of 55. My thoughts are with everyone affected by this terrible disease. And I really wish tabloids would show people the respect to a) not make their disease and death a selling point, or b) lie or exaggerate about a disease like this.

  32. mandarski says – reply to this


    132

    If it is true, he will go quick. My Grandma had pancreatic cancer. Once it hit her Pancreas, she was gone in two weeks. But it is the national enquirer..how accurate can they be?

  33. NOOOOO says – reply to this


    133

    If it is true my thoughts are with him and his family. I love Patrick Swayze.

  34. Jessica!!!!!!!!! says – reply to this


    134

    OMG!!!! I have loved Patrick since I was little…. The first time I saw Dirty Dancing I was 5 and I told my mom I was gonna marry him one day! He is my all time favorite actor… I really hope this isnt true! but if it is I pray for him and his entire family!!!

  35. kimmm says – reply to this


    135

    Re: michelethebelle – omg im so sorry i know exactly what it feels like to lose a sibling who was too young too soon ….. but its because of our experiences that our thoughts should be directed towards Patrick Swayze and his family today

  36. Obsessed says – reply to this


    136

    that sucks !!!!! hope it's not true

  37. jimena says – reply to this


    137

    also wish this isn't true… but if it is, i hope he doesn't suffer and takes the most of the life :'(

  38. Alex says – reply to this


    138

    this seems something a bit too serious to lie about,
    but 5 weeks? bit strange

  39. outragedfan says – reply to this


    139

    pancreatic cancer is practically a death sentence. let's hope this is a cruel bit of misinformation.

  40. Paige says – reply to this


    140

    I hope and pray to God that its not true. I was always in love with Patrick Swayze and if its true im sure his family can use everyone thougths and prayers and white light.

  41. Drella says – reply to this


    141

    This is sooo sad, I have never posted here before (except to write to Fox re: John Gibson). Cancer is horrible. Both my parents died from it, and it isn't an "easy" death. Don't make fun of this, his friends and family are suffering too much right now. Just pray for him, and let us hope he gets better and goes on doing what he loves.

    So much Hollywood tragedy lately…. I thank Perez for being kind to these celebs for the most part anyway.

    Go hug someone you love today…

    I googled it and so far I can't find a thing anything about him or cancer. So right now let's just believe that no news is good news!

  44. maxeythecat says – reply to this


    144

    If true, this is so sad…pancreatic cancer moves very quickly and is next to impossible to cure, so if the info is correct there really isn't much hope for the guy. I had a grandfather that was diagnosed, treated and died from this all in the space of 12 weeks, so needless to say I've seen first hand what this monster is capable of. Prayers should indeed be said.

    I sincerely hope that this isn't true. What an awful thing to have happen to someone at such a young age. I'll keep both him and his family in my prayers.

    Please keep us updated on this Perez

  49. Fannie says – reply to this


    149

    If it is true, I send all my sympathy to the family. We will always remember you, Swayze, be sure to know you are in our hearts (if you ever read this, which seems impossible to me right now, but still)
    But crossing my fingers for it to be a big old myth

  50. marie says – reply to this


    150

    I really hope this is not true. He's sooo talented. When I was a kid, my grandmother had a huge crush on him and whenever I see him, I miss her. Please don't let this be true.

  51. PrayersFromIowa.. says – reply to this


    151

    When I read this I almost started to cry. My famliy too had dealt with cancer and lost a loved one to this terrible disease. I pray for Patrick and his family and I also pray for a cure. How terrible, I hope this isn't true….

  52. blo says – reply to this


    152

    OMG I sure hope this isnt true. I love his work & He seems to be such a nice person. God bless Patrick & his family & I pray that this is only a rumor.

  53. ed says – reply to this


    153

    "Patrick is only 55 years old!!!!!!"

    Curious how age takes a different angle for the young when death is involved. Too old for anything else but to die; Too old to rock and roll but too young to die.

  54. Aileen says – reply to this


    154

    If this is true which I hope it is not- my prayers go out to Patrick and his family and friends.

    God i hate when he talks about "I can't even type this I'm crying so much". Yeah it's sad but there is no way perez is sitting at his computer crying because he loves patrick swazey so much. He said that about the puppy yesterday too. Yeah, throwing puppies is wrong and sad but i highly doubt anybody sat there and cried about it like perez says he did.

    I saw Patrick Swayze in Chicago just before Christmas. We were in an elevator together and he looked fantastic. He appeared to be very healthy and happy! If this is not true I hope he and his family demand an apology from the Enquirer.

    172

    my bf's step father recent;y battled with pancreatic cancer . The doctors gave him about a year a year to live and although in the beginning of the chemo therapy the cancer went on remission for a bit but they found out that it already spread to his other organs and about 6 months ago he passed away .
    I truly hope this is just a rumor . Pancreas cancer is is one of the deadliest type of cancer. My prayers goes out to him and his family and I hope they get thorough this very rough times . Patrick Swayze is truly one of the greatest actor ever .

  73. Rachelle says – reply to this


    173

    Oh my God I hope it's not true. I love Patrick Swayze! He will forever be Johnny from Dirty Dancing for me! "No body puts Baby in a corner" is my favourite line EVER!

    185

    If this is not true, then expect the man to come forward and tell his fans that he is healthy. Or if true, Patrick just may send out a press release and say "thanks for the prayers, etc., but it is time for me to dance upstairs…"

    Then again, did he ever quit his constant smoking?

    What goes around, comes around!

    Yes, it's true… i just heard it on CNN… he's dead. Maybe he should have thought about giving up cigarettes 55 years ago. What a loss for the show-business community. I guess Dirty Dancing 3 won't happen. I hear he's already been cremated. Such a sad story.

    I love how some people are saying, "Well, it IS the National Enquirer, so we don't know if it is true."
    This from the same people who read the pointifications and "news" from a dumbass has-been-already "named" Perez Hilton. Yeah, I read it too - so what?
    And one other thing - I am not sure abou the age/maturity of the commentators on this site, but some of you people really need to learn how to use proper grammar, how to spell and how to use correct punctuation.
    Absolutely pathetic.
