As we're all sadly aware of, Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year.

Now, Swayze and his doctor are stating that the treatment is working! They said the response to the treatment was "excellent."

Great news! Or are they just trying to keep everyone optimistic?

Pancreatic cancer is (until now) incurable.

Patrick and his wife told People, "We're thrilled and grateful for the positive response Patrick has shown towards his treatment. Also, we can't help but feel that all the prayers, meditations and good thoughts sent his way by everyone has made a difference. Thank you!"

Swayze's physician added that Patrick "continues to respond well to his treatment for pancreatic cancer. Because of his excellent response, he will continue the same therapy at Stanford."

Let's keep sending over those positive thoughts! He still needs them!

Patrick Swayze has remained tight-lipped since news of his fight with pancreatic cancer became public.

Friends and former colleagues have spoken out about the Dirty Dancing star, and now his mom is talking publicly about her ailing son.

“He doesn’t deserve to get this,” Patrick’s 81-year-old mother, Patsy, told the National Enquirer. “He just doesn’t deserve it. He’s got such a big heart. He’s been such a good and generous and thoughtful person. It breaks my heart to know he’s suffering. But he bears it and he’s determined to beat this. He’s hanging in there and getting the best treatment he can.”

Patsy told the mag that her son has been ‘humbled’ by the support he has received since word of his illness became public. And a family insider says that Swayze has been strong for the people around him.

“Patrick as usual, is worried more about other people than himself."

Stay strong (and smoke less)!

The National Enquirer has the first photo of Patrick Swayze since news broke that he has the extremely fatal pancreatic cancer….

And he's fucking smoking!!!!!!!!!!

The photo, taken this Monday, shows a gaunt-looking Swayze at a small airport in northern California.

And HE'S SMOKING!!!!!!! While he's still getting treatment. This boggles our mind!

He is poisoning his body as he is trying to get better.

Maybe he's just resigned himself to the sad fact that no matter what he does, he will likely die in a few months????

Sad.

It has been reported that Patrick had a disgusting THREE PACK A DAY cigarette habit.

NO ONE should be smoking that much!

You really shouldn't be smoking at all, we think.

Smoking kills. Period.

Kids, do NOT smoke!!!!!
SMOKING KILLS!

A new report claims that actor Patrick Swayze had a filthy habit of smoking three packs of cigarettes a day.

We hope that's not true.

Any sane person would know THAT IS TOO MUCH.

Smoking kills!

INSIDE EDITION has uncovered Patrick Swayze had a three pack a day cigarette habit. The habit was so bad it was listed as a partial factor in the cause of a plane crash Swayze was involved in by the National Transit Safety Board in 2000. The report reveals Swayze was flying his plane when he became physically impaired in the cockpit which authorities said may have been caused by the cumulative effects of carbon monoxide by-products from the engine and from tobacco use.

Don't smoke, kids!!!

According to the American Cancer Society previous studies have shown that smoking is responsible for about one-third of pancreatic cancer deaths. Studies reveal heavy smoking may damage the pancreas before cancer develops leaving the damaged pancreas more susceptible and at a greater risk of developing cancer.

Smoking kills!!!!

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!

Ya, it's a bit sappy, but….

We just downloaded Patrick Swayze's She's Like The Wind on iTunes and we've been playing it on repeat.

If we all buy the song and we make it go to the Top 10, it'd be a nice gesture to the ailing Dirty Dancing star.

Patrick Swayze is remaining optimistic, despite his recent diagnosis with pancreatic cancer.

The actor's publicist released this statement Wednesday afternoon:

"Actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Patrick's physician Dr. George Fisher states, 'Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.' Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."
