Patrick Swayze 'says goodbye as cancer spreads'

ACTOR Patrick Swayze has reportedly started saying goodbye to family and friends after learning his cancer has spread to his liver.

The Dirty Dancing and Ghost star, who in January was told he had pancreatic cancer, has started preparing himself for death, reports say

"Patrick recently got word that the cancer had spread to his liver and that is what his doctors said would begin the countdown to the end," a source told National Enquirer magazine.

"Patrick knew it was coming because he was suffering increased weakness.

"At times, he was so weak that he could barely walk without feeling faint. Sometimes he feels out of breath and has to sit down."

This is very tragic. I hope he gets better. It doesn’t look like he will, but miracles sometimes do happen.

Its really very sad to hear. Our prayers are with him and his family. Nothing ever prepares people to hear a loved one is going to die. We all send Pat our best.

The only thing I believe out of the National Enq. are usually the UFO reports ;)

So, that said, hasn’t Swayze got a new series coming out on A&E soon?

Sorry to hear about it. There isn’t any cure for pancreatic cancer. God bless him and his family.

Sad news if true. Swayze was great in “Red Dawn” and “Roadhouse”.

Oh man.

Patrick Swayze is a class act, as is his wife. She must be devastated. Prayers to them both.

He was diagnosed early 2008 with pancreatic cancer, grim diagnosis, but suddenly recovered, miraculously it seemed. Started the series, but didn’t seem to last long before this relapse.

It does not look good. We talked about him at Thanksgiving dinner today and wondered how he was as the theme from Dirty Dancing was played over the sound system where our family ate.

I saw a vid clip about him being in a new show and wondered how he could do that in his condition. It’s sad.
