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!

    He's one of the good ones. Cancer knows nothing about wealth, faith, celebrity, gender, or race. It affects everyone. My aunt beat lung cancer only to be struck down by pancreatic..If this is true, it is heartbreaking. If it is not, the thank God and pray that the NE hets what it derserves..

  8. WHATEVER says – reply to this


    208

    NO WAY, I won't believe it. It would be all over the news, don't you think? I just love him. Such a big part of my childhood. I'll just be crossing my fingers that it's not true and wish his family lots of love and health.

    209

    I live close to Stanford and get the local paper. There was an article about how Patrick had been to Stanford for gastrointestinal-related surgery in the first week of February. If he does have pancreatic cancer, he still has a chance if they were willing to operate to probably remove the tumors, which means it hasn't metastisized. This type of cancer is usually fatal but not always. Look at Steve Jobs. Prayers for this guy though, it's a really tough cancer to beat.

    214

    National Enquirer is NOT a magazine worthy of truth and I am not hearing this reported anywhere else, but I hope it is not true. Such a wonderful actor and seems to be such a nice guy. Such a handsome guy too.

    If this is not true, I would HOPE he sues the pants off of the Enquirer. That kind of tabloidism is just the worst.

  15. Kelly says – reply to this


    215

    I pray this is not true. However if it is when his time comes there will be a star up in the sky that will blind you. My Prayers go out to his Family and Friends.

    216

    I'm a big fan of his. A friend of mine played hockey with him in the movie Youngblood and said Patrick could play hockey and really skate (unlike Rob Lowe). I loved him in Donnie Darko too– very weird role, but he played it well.

    Good luck Patrick– I hope the story isn't true.

    Re: DJohRicky – Because in this age 55 IS young..does it make it ok that he's 55 to be terminally ill? My dad ided of Lung cancer at 68 and I thought that was WAY too soon for him to go. Sending best wishes and healing prayers to Swayze and family if this is true.

    Wow, I am praying that this is just a bunch of bull…..I have been watching Dirty Dancing literally since it came out. I was just a baby then, and my parents always had that movie on for me. I loved it, I still do. I love Patrick Swayze. He is one of the most Talented Actors of all time. I can't believe some of you are on here. Still writing…..FIRST! thats lame!

    223

    Who knows with the national enquirer. It's such a shame, he is a fabulous actor and a genuine, sweet guy. I watched an interview with him last year and he was so down to earth, even taking the piss out of himself. I really hope this isn't true. It would be such a loss, not just to his fans, but to the world as a human being. :(

  26. KING OF MEAN says – reply to this


    226

    Wait a second… wasn't Patrick arrested for either DRUNK DRIVING, or possibly flying an airplane DRUNK a few years ago? If he dies soon, it will be good, since he won't be able to possibly KILL an innocent driver or sidewalk passenger or airplane in the sky. What a jerk… KARMA, baby… KARMA. And he was a big SMOKER too… yech! I do think show-business will still be able to continue without the DRUNK. And if you had someone in your family killed by a DRUNK DRIVER, you would feel like i do.

  27. not good says – reply to this


    227

    My Mom list her best friend three months ago to pancreatic cancer. If you have it, you die quickly. It's the worst form of cancer anyone could have. If it is true that he has it, it won't be long for him. It will take him quickly, and no amount of money or treatments can save him. :(

  28. jubes says – reply to this

    i hope it is not true..my dad died of pancreatic cancer a year and a half ago..it's a hard thing to go through…god bless him and his family if it is true =(

    Perez and readers-

    Pancreatic cancer is the one of if not the most deadly of cancers. It has no screening process, often misdiagnosed and diagnosed at a late stage and has a very slim chance of survival. I lost my dad to this cancer in August and the effects of it were horrific beyond words. It would not surprise me if he had months or weeks to live if this report is true. Pancreatic cancer kills 95% of the diagnosed within a year and the remaining 5% are usually given about 5 years life expectancy. If this is true, Patrick and his family are headed down a very heartbreaking path and my heart breaks for them as well. Pancreatic cancer needs attention and funding so a screening process can be established and new treatments can be discovered.

    For all of you who believe the power of prayer. Please pray for him…God is so great.

    Patrick Swayze is great. I hope this isn't true. You haven't seen him in years, right? I think a few years ago I saw something about him flying small planes and a ranch somewhere. Good thoughts out to you, Patrick~! Boy, you can freaking MOVE! I will never forget the SNL sketch of Patrick and Chris Farley as competing Chippendale dancers for one spot on the dance line! Brilliant. Be well, Patrick. Say it isn't so!

    Oy, I hope it isnt true Pancreatic Cancer is pretty much a death sentence. It has snatched Michael Landon, Pavarotti & many celebs here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pancreatic_cancer_deaths

    This would truly be a tragedy but I have to ask since you mention it so often: WHAT THE HELL IS POSITIVE ENERGY, AND HOW DO YOU SEND IT??????
    That's a bunch of New Age crap-o-la.

  37. Joelle F says – reply to this


    237

    I get the distinct impression that chemotherapy only speeds up a person's death and increases their suffering. It's sick, literally.
    Anybody with a cancer diagnosis should do some internet research about this "therapy", and not just on AMA-approved sites.

  38. AM says – reply to this


    238

    if the National Enquirer did fabricate the story it is truly the most immoral and detestful things anyone can do and everyone who works for that magazine should be stoned and burn in hell. If this is not true, I would rip up every copy I see out of complete disgust for running such a serious and untrue story. Ive seen close family and friends suffer at the hands of cancer as thier bodies slowly get weaker and weaker until they can barely stand and are just a shell of their old selves. Its the most heartbreaking and painful thing a person can go through. To even look in a mirror and ask god what has happened to you and to barely recognize your own face. This is definitely no joke and anyone who makes one should suffer the same fate.

    I hope this is not true - I lost my father to pancreatic cancer at the age of 53. Far too young and too talented…….

    Unfortunately this is true. my friend is a nurse, and her friend, another nurse works at one of the facilities where he is getting treatment. she told me this last week. come to think of it i should have emailed you about it earlier, but I forgot about what she had said until I just saw this story.

    Funny the same thing is going on RIGHT NOW on Days Of Our Lives (minus the "5 weeks to live") Bo Brady has what appears to be pancreatic cancer (which killed his half sister). Enquirer dipping into soaps for stories now?

    My dad had it. but he was 84 . He was on a exercise bike a week before he passed. He knew and didnt tell us. But he lived a great life! God bless Pat

    I just heard this on my local radio station, the DJ explained the same thing, five weeks to live. She said that his wife is praying he makes it through the summer so the can celebrate their 32nd wedding anniversary!!! So Sad! My thoughts and prayers are with his family!

  47. Rockettgirl says – reply to this


    247

    Funny isn't it. Days of our Lives is doing a storyline that "bo brady" has pancreatic cancer (that killed his "half sister Isabella")> Enquirer reaching into daytime drama for it's stories now?

    Re: samantha – "several months ago" he wasn't "feeble"???? My brother thought he had the flu, instead was diagnosed w/ pancreatic cancer and died 20 days later, at the age of 47! THAT is how fast this type of cancer kills. My prayers go out to Mr. Swayze & his family and friends. God bless you & thanks for all the enjoyment you've given millions of people!

    Re: Jen – I'm sorry about your Dad, but…are you at all implying that Perez was making fun of this? I think the opposite…he was not making fun in the slightest…If you are telling others who post not to make fun…I'm with you…anyone who makes fun needs to burn in hell. Stay strong…I've been through this myself. It's terribly hard, just make every second count and say everything you need to say to him so there will be no regrets.

    my mother died 1 month ago with pancreatic cancer. it comes on quickly - one day you are healthy, the next you have months to live. it is a horrible form of cancer - where only 5% last 1 year and 1% last 5. I pray that if he does have it, he finds the way to take his brief period of time left and enjoy life and his family.

    Re: Shark – Dear Idiot (Shark),
    He never said he was actually the pilot flying his own plane…Think it's possible that he has a pilot and is simply a passenger in his own private plane???That makes the most sense…Obviously if he has his own plane, he is going to take advantage of it and fly to his treatments on HIS schedule - he has a pilot, dummy.

    My dad just died of colon cancer that spread to the liver and lungs and then DRASTICALLY throughout the whole body. He died June 3rd, 2007.

    My father passed away of pancreatic cancer and it was the most unbearable thing to watch him go through. He surprisingly lived a year and a half with it, which is twice as long as he should have, so if this rumor is true, I hope Patrick Swazye is able to be on top of it for a while. My thoughts and prayers are with you Patrick!

    This seems like a very strong rumor. Why the heck can't they find some cures for these awful diseases? We have incredible technology, can put space probes on Mars, etc. but can't cure cancer and it's the 21st Century? I guess there's no money in doing that.

    268

    I had a parent with pancreatic cancer. I pray to God that he doesn't have it, and I truly feel sorry for him if he does. This is one of those cancers that you don't survive from, and you're lucky to live a year after diagnosis. I really hope this isn't true.

    270

    I really hope this is not true! It's so strange how you can become attached to people you don't even know personally. However, we are all human and share the common bonds of sickness and loss and death. If the pancreatic cancer diagnosis is true, then the prognosis of 5 weeks may very well be accurate. Pancreatic cancer is incredibly lethal and is very, very rarely curable. If it is true then I sure hope that their faith (whichever it may be) helps Patrick and his family resign themselves to decision that has been made by the higher ups. I hope they find the strength to fill the remaining time with nothing but unconditional love and support. When someone goes through something like this it really makes no difference whether you know them personally or not. Each and every one of us could very well be in this situation tomorrow so things like this should serve as a reminder that we are not immortal. We should cherish every moment we have to express our love to the ones closest to us. Tomorrow will never be guaranteed and time is not forever.

    If this is not true, I hope they sue big! My husband is only 36 and was diagnosed with advanced renal cell cancer (kidney) in Jan. We have an 8 year old son and it has been so hard for us and we have had to tell friends and family members at a pace that we could handle it. It has been the hardest thing we have ever faced in our lives. If the story about Patrick Swayze is true then shame on the Enquirer anyway, because Patrick may not be ready to let the world know.

    Hope this isn't true, but there's been no repsonse after th eNE report, so I don't know.

    All I know is that I truly hope and pray this isn't true. I am so sick and tired of this miserable disease. The medical technology is there to wipe cancer out once and for all, I just know it.

    285

    Perez is not making fun with regard to this post!!!

    He has not said anything disrespectful and is truly sad himself.

    So People, don't pile on Perez, he's sad too.!!! This is just too tragic.
    He is a well-loved and respected person and I will pray for him
