Patrick Swayze’s representative confirmed an earlier story from The National Enquirer that he has pancreatic cancer and only has a few weeks left to live. His spokesperson told Page Six that 55-year-old Patrick was diagnosed a month ago and that he “underwent a serious gastrointestinal procedure” at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto. His rep also told PageSix.com that Patrick might only have a few weeks to live.
The average life expectancy of someone with this type of cancer is six to nine months. Swayze's publicist issued the following statement:
"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 time frame 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."
The National Enquirer reports:
"He received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less than his doctors had hoped for — and Patrick was told he should prepare for the end.
"He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short - they held out little hope for a cure," said an insider."
So it seems that the National Enquirer was right again. I hope he beats this thing.The top search on Google are patrick swayze cancer, patrick swayze dying, patrick swayze pancreatic cancer, patrick swayze has cancer and patrick swayze news.
