Back in March, word spread that Patrick Swayze had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had only weeks to live. Patrick’s doctors quickly said that he was actually responding quite well to his treatment and, in June, Patrick announced that, despite his cancer, he would be continuing with his lead role on a new A&E series called The Beast. The show began filming in Chicago this summer, and just had its wrap party on Sunday night.
Patrick was present.
I’m not going to say he looks great, because he doesn’t. But he’s up and he’s walking and, hell, he just filmed a whole TV series. Not bad for someone who supposedly only had weeks to live as of March.
He’s pictured below with co-star Billy Dec.
Ive always been a fan of Swayze, he is one heck of a talented dancing machine. I wish him all the best and its great to see that he is making the most of whatever time he has left!. LEGEND!
=)
This is painful to look at knowing he is gonna die sooner than he should. So sad.
Nope, he is gonna kick that shit. Actors are too selfish to die.
He really does look good considering. Pancreatic cancer is no joke, most people die from it very quickly-it’s like the fastest thing going. He must be getting some super treatment, and I’ll bet you anything that it is really not fun. It is so sad, he’s really not ready to go.
I agree with Becky. He looks ridiculously good considering that cancer is eating away at him.
i hope he gets a lance armstrong miracle…
When he’s about to die will he be singing and dancing to “Now I’ve had, the time of my life…”?
Nice to see him up, working and about, kind of sick when rumours start that people are on their deathbeds or even dead when they are not. Best of luck to him.
NOBODY PUTS SWAYZE IN THE CORNER!!! yayyyyy!
I have been a Patrick fan for 20+ years…and I pray daily for him to have new strength, for everyday he faces this terrible sickness….I recently just lost my dad age 71 to cancer, it is a huge battle, but it is very good to see Patrick still fighting hard.
I hate seeing these smarmy headlines in the newest ‘National Enquirer’
“Patrick Swayze’s Cancer Spreading” ‘wife’s tears as he says goodbye’
What kind of horrible hype is that? I saw that today and thought to myself, ‘how can he stand to see his death knoll headlining a newspaper when he’s still here? I agree with Iva, he’s a fighter, and his lovely wife is his biggest strength. They are truly an exception to the typical holywood’ marriages. It’s too danged bad, if something like this has to happen, it doesn’t happen instead to the promiscuous, adultering types who are regularly in the headlines. Life just ain’t fair, is it?
For someone with pancreatic cancer, he looks hella good. Years ago when my mother got pancreatic cancer, she lost a ton of body weight fairly fast, which made her skin hang off her bones. She got most of her stomach taken out, her pancreas taken out, and some of her liver (or all of it, I can’t remember) taken out. The cancer also spread to her skin, which made her orange/yellow. She died about a year and a half after she was diagnosed.
My husband is a pancreatic cancer patient. He had the whipple surgey and treatments and he is a walking miracle. I want to tell you everyone has a time to die and only God knows. My husband and I
take one day at a time! We none know the plan. My husband had surgery 7/11/2007 and this past spring and summer he was able to do
his lawn service. He is retired and just does a small amount of lawns
10 a week. This is not easy work. Before he retired he was in mgt.
with a large company. He has done this to keep in shape and keep busy. I never thought that he would be able to do continue to do this business. He also just returned from a mission trip in Mississippi.
God is with Patrick, just as he is with my husband. Remember always take one day at a time. This goes for everyone!
