Patrick Swayze: 5 Weeks Left To Live?
In tomorrow's published edition the NATIONAL ENQUIRER will release the full story behind Patrick Swayze's life/death battle with Pancreatic cancer; a partial report is currently on their website as "Breaking News".

According to reports, Swayze was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in Late January and has since been receiving treatments at famed Stanford Cancer Treatment Center in Palo Alto but doctors there have told him that his body is not responding, the cancer has spread to other organs and that he has mere weeks left to live. Swayze and his wife [both licensed pilots] have been flying to the bay-area center in their private Beechcraft for the chemotherapy procedures. Swayze is just 55 years old.

Let's hope this is one of those stories that the ENQUIRER gets completely wrong.

Excuse me: you're quite correct... it WAS five weeks. The shock is still fresh as I just read this story 20 minutes ago. I have edited my thread title accordingly. Thanks for the correction.

A friend and coworker of mine found out late January of 2007 that he had aggressive pancreatic cancer. He fought it until February this year.

The first few and last few months were really hard on him. He was 37.

How heartbreaking to hear that Patrick Swayze is fighting it also.

My son was born at Stanford, excellent hospital!

SO sad, this is the first I've heard of Patrick's sickness.

wow. I'm truely saddened for his wife and children. They have been one of those rare hollywood breeds that have endured the tests of fame and time in their marriage.
anything after 'but' is bullshit!

Swayze's publicist has not yet issued a statement; however, a source has said that recently Swayze has been frequently on-set for a cheerleading movie now shooting on a Century City studio lot. They said he looked fit and that if he was seriously ill that he was concealing it very well.

His Chippendales skit with the late Chris Farley is comic gold, the funniest thing I have ever seen on SNL.

I wish him well and my heart goes out to him at this difficult time.

Re: Patrick Swayze: 5 Weeks Left To Live?
my brother ( who was 55) died of this type of cancer a few yrs back
he was on this [link to findarticles.com]

his cancer had almost destroyed the liver by the time he saw the good doctor so the treatment had limited value for him..

the treatment did stop the growth of the cancer in the pancreas
so it did work there ...

my brothers family , in spite of losing J. , were grateful to have this doctor ck . in on him every day and offer support and concern to him... he was a blessing ( only doc. who offered any hope .. the others sent him home with nothing)

Found this from one month ago:


Actor PATRICK SWAYZE underwent surgery on a mystery complaint in California over the weekend (02-03Feb08).
The actor checked into the Stanford University Medical Center for a serious "gastro-intestinal procedure", according to the New York Post.
Sources tell the newspaper he has since been released, with his spokesperson confirming the 55-year-old is now "home and happy".

Pancreatic cancer is a bad one. It's usually too late when the symptoms are discovered and diagnosed.

Re: Patrick Swayze: 5 Weeks Left To Live?
Steve Jobs also has pancreatic cancer.

During a routine abdominal scan, doctors had discovered a tumor growing in his pancreas. While a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is often tantamount to a swiftly executed death sentence, a biopsy revealed that Jobs had a rare - and treatable - form of the disease. If the tumor were surgically removed, Jobs' prognosis would be promising: The vast majority of those who underwent the operation survived at least ten years.

Re: Patrick Swayze: 5 Weeks Left To Live?
Swayze's publicists released further information late this afternoon denying that he has only weeks left to live; the statement, which included comments from Swayze's personal physician suggested the actor's disease was not as advanced as previously publicised and that he is continuing to work on his professional projects.

These comments in spite of the reality that Pancreatic cancer is highly aggressive, uncurable and that 96% of patients succumb to the disease within 6-9 months after diagnosis... with the remaining 4% living only five years longer. GRIM statistics, but true nevertheless.
