Patrick Swayze Fights Stage Four Pancreatic Cancer


Truly heartbreaking, as it is with anyone. Recent startling pictures have been published showing a 105 lb Patrick Swayze out & about at a gas station en route to the hospital. I won't post any here, out of respect for him and his family. They are online everywhere, should you care to search them out.

From justjared.buzznet.com:

The 56-year-old Dirty Dancing star reportedly weighs only 105 lbs and has been undergoiing chemotherapy. Swayze was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer last year and recently said that he may have only two years to live.

Reports say that the beloved star has decided to go forward with a “Do Not Resuscitate” order, requiring doctors to let him die in the event that he stops breathing or his heart stops beating. Whoopi Goldberg recently said, “You know what, he’s doing what everybody else is doing, he’s taking it one day at a time. He does not have an expiration date on his backside - none of us do we just know at some point it’s going to happen and that’s how he’s looking at it.”
