Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Hangin’ in There!

Patrick Swayze and his wife, Lisa, took in a Lakers game this weekend.

The star has been battling pancreatic cancer, so it’s great to see him out and about!

We’re praying for a full recovery for you, Patrick!

  • josh, he does. i see this and it is very scary. the eyes are the first ”sign” that someone is sick. jeez, hang in there, guy.

  • pancreatic cancer *is* scary. i watched my aunt go from a healthy, vital and active 62 year old to a shriveled and gaunt corpse in 5 months. horrific. beet, there is no “full recovery” here, just a holding at bay and staying alive and able to function with as little pain as possible for as long as possible. i pray that he doesn’t have much pain….
    so sad….

  • Jojo: I hear ya. The twentieth of this month marked the fifth anniversary of my grandfather’s death from this shitty disease. It’s horrible. It’s like watching somebody rot. They’re completely bed-ridden, they can’t eat or drink a damn thing besides popsicles and ice cubes, they have tubes sticking out of everywhere… it’s just horrific. Those memories of seeing my once plump, jolly grandfather laying in that bed looking like a skeleton will haunt me til the day I die. It’s something I struggle with on a daily basis. I pray to the Gods that Patrick will somehow fork out some miracle money to save himself from this horrible demise. This just makes me so very sad. I hope whatever the outcome is in this terrible mess is peaceful.

  • I love Patrick Swayze, he genuinely seems like a nice guy. I hope he pulls through. I’m just glad to see him out and about.

  • There’s always hope – I have a friend whose father developed pancreatic cancer 5 years ago. It was touch and go for a while, but now he is healthy, in recovery, travelling abroad, going on roller coasters etc etc. Keep believing…
