It's True

Filed under: Sad Sad > Patrick Swayze

wenn1140717__opt1.jpg

Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer, his publicist confirmed on Wednesday.

The average life expectancy of someone diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas is six to nine months, with only 4 percent of patients living more than five years.

And, according to the National Enquirer, who broke the sad news first, Patrick's cancer has already spread to other parts of his body - making his chances of survival even more slim.

Let us all sends our prayers, positive energy and thoughts to him. That he is not in pain. And that his family does not suffer too much either.

So incredibly, heartbreakingly sad.

    One of my top ten all time fav movies … Dirty Dancing. How sad. I LOVE it when he says, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." He has one of the sexiest mouthes I have ever seen. He was so hot. I hate it. Life is cruel.

    i just lost my father 2 weeks ago to pancreatic cancer. it is not a laughing matter- every year 33,000 people are diagnosed and within 1 year 31,000 of those people will die. my father was diagnosed fairly early and only survived 11 months. it is a horrible, disgusting way to die. i pray for him and his family.

    I thought for sure because it was the national enquirer that this story is false. I can't believe this. This is heartbreaking news. Mr. Swayze, I love the diversity of you work and your ground breaking roles. You will leave behind a legacy, hopefully later rather than sooner. My prayers are with you. Stay strong Patrick. We love you so much

    Re: primeira – writing "FIRST!" is really not appropriate.

    this is really sad.

  35. manda Lu says – reply to this


    135

    i'm shocked. when someone of his fame gets sick you wonder why they didn't catch it sooner.

    my heart goes out to his whole family and his friends.

    if i had weeks/months to live i'd make it worth it. my cancer isn't that bad, but anytime you have that "c" word said to you it's scary (even if you're like me and have had it more than once.)

    May God bless him and his family. He has dedicated his life to the arts - and entertaining us mere mortals. God must need him now.

    Patrick, his family and friends are in my prayers. It is very sad. I hope he can stay strong. Fight.

  42. pearlgrl says – reply to this


    142

    Its very sad–because he is so young. Pancreatic cancer is a fast one. he doesn't look very good in any recent photos so I am inclined to believe it. Very sad. So young.

    143

    Prayer won't help. Nothing fails like prayer. God is imaginary. Religion is fraudulent.

    Man, this is so sad… I'm so very schocked by the news. I hope he has a lot of support from his family and friends and that he isn't in a lot of pain.

  49. Vegas TLC says – reply to this


    149

    I'm still stunned that the National Enquirer, of all rag mags, actually got something right! My aunt died of pancreatic cancer only one month after being diagnosed, so, unfortunately, the prognosis is certainly not good at all. Five weeks is NOT an unrealistic estimate, I'm sad to say.

    I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF MR. SWAYZE. THIS IS JUST ABOUT THE WORST KIND OF CANCER THAT ONE CAN GET. I FELL IN LOVE WITH PATRICK WHILE WATCHING DIRTY DANCING. JUST TO THINK THAT HE MAY HAVE ONLY WEEKS TO LIVE IS JUST HORRIFYING. MY PRAYERS GO OUT AND GOD BLESS. GOD BLESS EVERYONE, MAN. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO CONTINUE WITH THE BULLSHIT AND DRAMA. PEACE

    165

    This is really bad news for Patrick. I've had three close family members, including my father, all die from the same cancer. This type of cancer moves VERY quickly and is VERY deadly. There is practically no cure, especially if it's moved into other organs. My dad just passed away about two years ago from the same thing. He only made it about three months after diagnoses. It was truly horrible to see just how quickly it took my father down.

    At first my father looked fine, but then he started losing a LOT of weight, until he was finally around 100 lbs when he died. This cancer is a horrible disease. We really need to find a cure for this horrible, horrible thing.

    All I can say is, Patrick, spend this time with your loved ones and really enjoy the time you have left. That's the best thing. Our prayers are with you and your family…

    Cheers

    You should extend this same type of empathy toward Brittney Spears, who is also struggling with a life threatening illness. Your continuous exploitation and cruelty towards her is so f@cked up. Mental illness is not her fault anymore than cancer is Patrick Swayzes. Learn some compassion fat head.

    First Jeff Healy who was in the movie Road House with Patrick Swayze dies on Sunday in Ontario and now this sad news. My Dad is also living with cancer. It's quality not quantity that matters now. You have to want to survive more than anyone else wants it for you. The body is an amazing thing……..praying for you.

    This isn't fair. A celebrity who actually doesn't get his kicks by having his every move documented by the paparazzi and instead chooses to live outside of the spotlight. Patrick Swayze is a model celebrity! Why do the good ones have to get burned? And just days ago his Roadhouse co-star, Canadian Guitarist Jeff Healey succumbed to cancer…life is so unfair! My prayers are with Patrick and his family at this time.
