Patrick Swayze Battling Cancer
Wednesday March 5, 2008
 Stephen Lovekin/WireImage.com Actor Patrick Swayze is undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer, his reps said in a statement. "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far," his physician, Dr. George Fisher, states. The NY Post reported he was diagnosed more than a month ago and may only have weeks to live. "All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue," Fisher said. "We are considerably more optimistic." The 55-year-old is best known for his roles in Dirty Dancing and Ghost. "Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects," his rep said in the statment. "The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family.” The National Enquirer was first to break the news of Swayze's cancer.

Dear Patrick Swayze and family, I think of you often! Loved your movie's and so hope all the best possible is bestowed upon you and your lovely family. I know first hand what you are going through and so very much of your fight is determined within your own attitude. You do have the will power and possitive attitude to do yourself well. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Only one who has had to deal with your pain can really comprehend your willingness to live a complete and satisfying life. I once again wish you and yours well. Heather Mailer

After watching the Barbara Walters special, I was so moved with the way Patrick Swayze is handling this horrible disease. Please, please, give him his privacy so that hurtful things are not said. This can only make matters worse. After all, he is a human being just like us not just a celebrity. Thanks

Oh my word I need to be a star or news reporter so I can get my message out.LOL I've been responding to news articles, blogs, friends in hopes to reach Patrick Swayze and in all the things I've heard I still have not read anyone mention about a Coffee Cleanse. I've been researching cancer off and on for over 10 years now and I'm also a Cervical Cancer Survivor. In my research there was some study on Coffee Cleanse which helps with pancreatic cancer. Not much is out to our doctors on old remedies so this requires much research. I wanted to make sure you knew of this treatment. I'm sure many have not and saying what coffee...I drink it...well it works as a detox of its own. If you the news people are reading this please help by passing this info direct. Every Life Matters Please Help..Thanks for your time.... Don't Give Up Faith, Hope = Survivor

I was diagnosed with cancer over a year ago and went through treaments for a year. MY cancer has arrested itself. Prayer is powerful and I know many are praying for you. You must believe and you must trust The Lord. He will see you thru if you have faith in him and truly trust him. May God be with you each moment until you are well again. My love to you through Crist.

I lost my mom last June to Pancreatic Cancer. It is one of the worst forms of cancer!! It's ugly and very deadly. I pray that you are one of the 5% who make it!!! One of the risks factors in the cancer IS smoking. Although my mom hadn't smoked a cigarette in over 30 years. Her mom passed from the same thing. She never smoked a cigarette in her life. They were both young. 51 and 52. It's very hard to detect, because the symptoms could be symptoms of other things. And the pacreas is hidden from other organs and undetectable with normal cancer screenings!!!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Patrick and his family. I lost my mother to ovarian cancer, my mother in law and a sister in law both to breast cancer and my father to prostate cancer. You are an awseome actor and as many others have stated, Dirty Dancing is my favorite movie of all times. I believe mind over matter really does count. Keep positive thoughts. We sure will. God Bless!!

I just wanted to say that Patrick Swayze and his family are in my thoughts and prayers. I recently lost my father to cancer on Dec 19/2007 and my uncle is also in a battle with cancer. I know the pain that cancer can cause. I'm a big fan of his work, I loved all his movies, he is a great actor. Please pray for him and his family.

Snows Says:
My father has actually pancreatic cancer: yes, its cancer, its terrible, but he´s surviving for more than 7 months without treatment or medical help, or chemoterapy (he´s starting chemo in two weeks, amazing.., 24th of this month) but its no more painful than other devasting illnes. Now whe have morphine or another pain killers that can avoid the suffering in the pacient. All of you dont usually think that all of us are going to die, one day or another. It doesent matter if cancer, or car crash, or heart desease kill us. The thing is nobody stay here for a long time...so, dont make pancreatic cancer a thing more terrible that heart atac, or another illnes.
