Patrick Swayze Really Has Cancer
Tags: pancreatic cancer, patrick swayze
I waited ’till today to address the claims that Patrick Swayze has cancer, because 1) I am committed to journalistic integrity, and 2) because The “I Married A Two-Headed Elvis Clone” Enquirer was the source of the rumors. Unfortunately, it’s true: Patrick Swayze’s personal physician confirmed last night that the “Roadhouse” star has cancer of the pancreas. Despite pancreatic cancer being notoriously difficult to treat and carrying a survival rate of less than five percent, the doctor believes the actor is responding to chemotherapy and denies the claims that Swayze has only a little over a month left to live. In a statement released to the media, Dr. Fisher said (via The Daily Mail)
“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 timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic. 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.”
Still, it doesn’t look good for Patrick. The Enquirer claims that the cancer has already spread to his other vital organs, which pretty much seals the deal in most cancer cases. It’s a damn shame. Like Bohdi said, “Life sure has a sick sense of humor, doesn’t it?” Also, “Back off, Warchild. Seriously.” No matter what the situation, you can never go wrong with a good “Point Break” quote. At least we’ll always have that.

“All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it’s absolutely necessary. And three, be nice. ”

Seriously! Take any story in the National Enquirer, let age a day, and scrape out all the drama, and THEN you have your real news.

thank you abby. i got into an argument yesterday over what his doctor said (my side) vs. what the enquirer and perez said (their side).
steve jobs was diagnosed with the same type of cancer in ‘03, and we all know he’s still doing well.
so let’s not write patrick’s obituary just yet!

Hi Patrick, Please stop going the medical route to cure your cancer. Radiation and whatever else they do is not the answer. Your body is a natural healer. You need to boost your immunue system along with taking some natural remedies and doing cleanses. I can help if you would consider it. I live in PA. My phone number is 814-484-7738. (I had to learn about natural remedies myself because my immune system became immune to antibiotics, meds, etc.) Take care.
