Patrick Swayze Near Death With Pancreatic Cancer - Blu-ray Forum

Patrick Swayze has five weeks to live, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned.

In a shocking world exclusive, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has uncovered the devastating news that the beloved Hollywood actor and dancer was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs.

Full details are in the print edition of the NATIONAL ENQUIRER that goes on sale tomorrow.

For the past month, Patrick, 55, has been traveling to Stanford University's prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatments will be successful.

Patrick and his wife Lisa Niemi — who both have pilot's licenses — have been flying their private Beechcraft plane into Palo Alto's airport, minutes away from the Stanford Cancer Center, where the actor has received outpatient treatment.

He received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less than his doctors had hoped for — and Patrick was told he should prepare for the end.

"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 man who danced into the hearts of audiences worldwide in the 1980s in Dirty Dancing and then broke them in the poignant love story Ghost in the early '90s has lost more than 20 pounds in the past few weeks and is restricted to a liquid diet because he has trouble keeping down solid food, added the insider.

"It's time to start praying for a miracle."

Being that this is the National Enquirer, can we really take this to the bank? I most certainly hope this isn't true.

savage1984 · 03-05-2008, 04:15 PM

WOW. that's just shocking and sad... Good luck to him. I hope for a miracle.

savage1984 · 03-05-2008, 04:15 PM

oh wait. National Enquirer... nevermind. He probably is doin' just fine.

DetroitSportsFan · 03-05-2008, 04:21 PM

The National Enquirer is a pretty credible source. I don't know why it gets such a bad name.

Anyway, Google it. The news is popping up everywhere.

savage1984 · 03-05-2008, 04:28 PM

You may be right, but I don't see anything on Yahoo! News

BStecke · 03-05-2008, 04:43 PM

I can't find any reputable news source with this information.

Oh, I dunno. Maybe because of stuff like this:

Too bad about Swayze. I bet he'll look back and realize he's had the time of his life. It's the truth.

JTK · 03-05-2008, 05:30 PM

This truly saddens me.

sj001 · 03-05-2008, 05:36 PM

Indeed. That is very sad news to hear.

He is much too young to die.

Now Fox News is reporting it.

I loved him in that SNL skit with Chris Farley. One of my favorites. The Chip-n-Dale's one.

Jim L · 03-05-2008, 07:28 PM

If it's on FoxNews it must be true.

Very sad.

Besides being well-known for playing in several popular movies, he was (in the past) the very picture of health and someone who looked much younger than their years.

In other news....

The National Enquirer is reporting that Elvis Presley was instrumental in helping Hilary Clinton win the Texas primary last night. With the help of an army of 3 headed little green men from Saturn he was able to successfully get out the vote to put his pal Hil over the top.

But they start out by saying... According to the National Enquirer... They also say it has not been confirmed.

You would think he would make a statment soon if it were untrue.

Foxnews is only reporting that the National Enquirer stated he has cancer. Not a confirmation and hopefully the report is not true.

Also as per the Fox article

"Patrick has been at rehearsals for a new cheerleading movie at Century City studio frequently lately, and he definitely does not look like he has 5 more weeks of life left…i'm not sure of his medical condition(s), but if he is gravely ill, he is hiding it very well," the source wrote

I hope they put out a statement soon that shoots this down.

Glad someone picked up on that.

WickyWoo · 03-05-2008, 08:34 PM

I don't think even the national enquirer would post something like that, especially with only 5 weeks to live (they'd want to milk it for months) if it weren't true

I hope it's not
