Patrick Swayze was told that he has five weeks to live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Swayze, 55, has been sick with the disease since he was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer, but the cancer has since spread to other organs and now the Dirty Dancing star is dying.
For the past month, Swayze has been traveling to Stanford University’s cancer center for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer hopeful that the treatments will be successful, according to the National Enquirer.
Swayze received three doses of chemotherapy, causing the tumor to shrink, but less than his doctors had hoped for.
Swayze has reportedly lost more than 20 pounds in the past few weeks and is restricted to a liquid diet because he has trouble keeping down solid food.

I didn’t know this was pulled earlier. Why? It was sourced.

I was tempted to make an off color ghost comment, but with no human hope left he still has one option left, and it doesn’t cost a single cent.

“No thanks” is not a reason for pulling a news story.
Especially when there are American Idol threads, threads with silly-a** potpourri and Hobbit nonsense here.
To: Petronski
Well, it was also on the Huffington Post, so it MUST be true. LOL

I’m very sorry to hear this. I’ve always thought Patrick Swayze was very attractive.

This story is all over the web.
If it’s true, what a disaster.

With Jeff Healey just passing, it makes you wonder if there is a “Roadhouse Curse.”
That being said, I hope this news isn’t true. Who would ever forget his SNL skit with the late Chris Farley as the Chippendale wannabe. And of course Red Dawn.

Roadhouse was a great guy flick but it will never make up for Dirty Dancing though......
Sad news for him and his family.
