If true,
Sad news. I like Patrick Swayze.

PATRICK SWAYZE HAS PANCREATIC CANCER
BY PAULA FROELICH AND DAVID K. LI
March 5, 2008 --
-- Twinkle-toed tough guy Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with cancer and might only have weeks to live, a rep for the dirty dancer said today.
Swayze's publicist confirmed to Page Six that he's suffering from pancreatic cancer, which could tragically bring down the curtain on his remarkably diverse career.
Swayze was diagnosed with the cancer more than a month ago.
The average life expectancy is six to nine months, with only 4 percent of patients living more than five years.
In a widely circulated statement, Swayze's doctor, George Fisher, said, "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."
Last month, Page Six reported that the "Ghost" star underwent a serious "gastrointestinal procedure" at Stanford University Medical Center. His rep said then that the procedure went well and that he was "home and happy."

Seem to be true that he has pancreatic cancer (publicist confirmed), but as for how much time he has left..who knows? Pancreatic cancer is pretty serious on the cancer scale

House.
Don't die bud. At least not yet.
Howdy, Stranger!
