Patrick Swayze Has Terminal Cancer

Patrick Swayze Has Terminal Cancer

Patrick Swayze has terminal cancer and only has five weeks to live, reports The National Enquirer.

The 55-year-old Dirty Dancing actor was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs. Swayze has been receiving treatment at Stanford University’s cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy.

“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.

The NY Post has confirmed the news with his publicist, saying, “He’s suffering from pancreatic cancer, which could tragically bring down the curtain on his remarkably diverse career… The average life expectancy is six to nine months, with only 4 percent of patients living more than five years.”

Pray for a miracle!!

UPDATE: Swayze’s doctor, Dr. Patrick George, tells People: “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.”

Swayze’s rep adds: “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.”

This is the worst cancer there is. I have to know first hand about it , my two best friends have had it. One is the second longest pancreatic cancer , survior in the world, since 1998. My other is fighting it now, with some luck. Went to Cancer Center of America in Tulsa, OK.

May GOD bless his family and him

One of my favorite actors. All we can do is pray really hard. I feel really bad.

Patrick, I am praying that you will come to Know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, He is the only way to life. He can heal, but even if he choses not to, he gives great peace and eternal life. My little sister just died of Melanoma stage 4, and God’s mercy and grace where phenominal. She is now at home with her savior.

Patrick, If you get to read this, please go to my web site and check out this product that is having tons of success in killing cancer cells. It was tested at the University of Fl. It has already helped many other cancer patients with their illness. It WILL NOT heal your cancer but it will build up your bodys own immune system so your body can heal itself along with healthy eating. Your diet really does make a difference!! Please just take the time to check it out. It will cost you nothing to look.
Thank you and I am praying for you and your family.

Patrick Swayze needs to contack this Doctor immediately. Any one else too. Burzynski Clinic in Houston Texas. Web site http://www.cancermed.com or phone (713) 335-5697. FDA wanted to jail him for helping people with cancer. It shows on the web site the cancers he has cured.

He has a 700% higer survival rate compared to Conventional Radiation & Chemotherapy.

Whitaker Wellness Instiitute Medical Clinic can be contacted to check if there is any doubt after viewing the web site. Dr. Whitaker’s number is (800) 488-1500 and Dr. Whitaker allso went to bat for Dr. Burzynski when the FDA wanted to put him in jail for helping people. If you need my phone let me know.

There was an artical in the Catholic Weekly a few years back a lady was going to have an operation in two weeks and she heard about Colostrum and got some but she did not know how much to take so she made up her own high dose and was on the operating table and the doctor said wait let me check one more time and her breast cancer was gone. I went back to get weekly to show my wife but it was gone.

If you type in, benifits of Colostrum: benifits of COQ10: benifits of Selenium which causes cancer cells to self destruct: on the computer then you will see where Doctors have found these to help with cancer.

Hope you have a longer life than expected. You may not get well again, Patrick but a little faith goes a long way. Miracles do happen.

great guy, hopefully he’ll pull thru ok

My family is praying for you

Oh dear God. This is the most lethal form of cancer known to medicine. I’m praying for a miracle, but if God has other plans for him, then I pray God will give him an easy passing and a safe trip home.

My husband and I are devastated with this terribly news. I am sure Patrick will pull through this; he is such a great person. I heard someone say ‘his daughter’ on one of the news items. Do not know if it is true; would like to think he has children. We have been married 51 years this year. He has 30 so far and married to the same woman - great for Hollywood. Please try Xango available in USA. It saved our lives. Made from Mangosteen juice, very high in Antioxidants etc.,

My thougths are with Patrick no one deserves this awful disease I hope he gets better Im praying for him xxxx

Patrick has always been my favorite actor and always will be. God Bless you Patrick. To his wife Lisa you are the luckiest woman on earth to have such a man like Patrick. I know no matter what happens your love for each other will see you through this terrible moment for both of you. I truely am saddened. My prayers are with the whole family.

OMG, THANK GOD

GOOD LUCK TO HIM GOLDIE, AND THE FAM

I had testicular cancer and was given 6 months back in the 1980’s. I was 17 years old at the time. I was given traditional chemo and more importantly: experimental. That was 20 years ago and here we are. I sincerely believe that Patrick would stand a better chance if his treatment consisted of intense and cutting-edge chemos and whatever else is available. I mean “everything”. He must reach out beyond the scope of what he’s receiving thus far. I know I’m repeating myself here, but I want him to stick around for a long long time. Alan

OMG, 5 WEEKS ONLY?? SO SAAAD

life deserves @ 03/14/2008 at 7:55 pm

So many are born with so much less, this is God’s way of leveling the playing field………………………………………….

Does he deserve this, I think he does…………………………….

“No one gets out alive”

I have faith that Patrick will be healed, it part from his tremendous positive outlook. My mom has surived Pancreatic Cancer twice and 12 years later, after her original diagnosis, is still alive!

You can fight it. Spiritually and nutritionally. Change your thinking, It’s TIME! Someone in my family died of the same thing. Don’t wait,you have the time to start a new you!

I hope that this can get to Patrick. You have the power to self-heal if only you BELIEVE.. Look at the DVD the secret if you haven’t already. I have alot of faith in GOD . Blessings to you and your family. If only people would put out more positive energy….. It angers me to hear doctors put a time limit on someone’s life- I’ll pray for you Patrick!

121 You are a fool.

So many are born with so much more and never will achieve what Patrick did.
He has always worked hard and earned every credit all by himself.
No one, not even you, deserve to die this way.

I’m not what they call a fan of Patrick, only seen Dirty dancing and Ghost and Roadhouse, In the Netherlands Patrick is not really a celeb, although when Dancing queen, a show in holland, heard about his illness they tributed one of their shows completly to him.

I know Patrick is fighting a battle, almost no one wins. He is in my prayers. Hoping he will pull through. Sending him a lotus. He will know why.

I AM so sad.
