Patrick Swayze’s Fight With Cancer

The man who first came to the world’s attention as the sexy dance instructor in the movie Dirty Dancing has announced he is now in the biggest fight of his life, against cancer.

Apart from the recent death of Heath Ledger this is probably one of the saddest pieces of information to come out the world of celebrity so far this year.

Patrick was given the news a month ago that he had pancreatic cancer and since them rumours have abounded of him only having weeks to live. But his oncologist, Dr. George Fisher, has said the prognosis is not that bad and all of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue.

Swayzee, who had us all weeping as he spooked Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg in the 1990’s movie Ghost, is said to be responding well to treatment and has a very limited amount of disease thus far and no time has been put on his life expectancy.

The world of celebrity is right behind Patrick during his battle with this disease and wishes him well and the outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public has been said to be appreciated by Patrick and his family.
