Hope he makes a full recovery. Cancer is evil. Title: Patrick Swayze Post by: Oldskool138 on March 05, 2008, 07:16:46 PM http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23488585/
This isn't good news. :bluesad: Title: Re: Patrick Swayze Diagnosed With Pancreatic Cancer Post by: trekgeezer on March 06, 2008, 10:34:28 AM I saw this yesterday and thought about posting it, but the source was The National Enquirer and they said the Doctor's were giving him three weeks to live. I couldn't find any legitimate news source for it, so I figured it was crap.
I hope he's one of the 5% that make it. My neighbor has this and is still around for about the last three years. This is what killed Michael Landon.

He gave some news interview and was clearly upset.
20% survive the first year. Only 5% survive beyond 5 years Title: Re: Patrick Swayze Diagnosed With Pancreatic Cancer Post by: Killer Bees on March 06, 2008, 10:00:56 PM I read somewhere that was an severe alcoholic for a long time and his wife even left him for abit. If that's the case, it probably contributed to his illness.
I don't know much about cancer other than it's a killer. It's a crying shame he has it. I hope he responds to treatment. I just loved him in Dirty Dancing. Title: Re: Patrick Swayze Diagnosed With Pancreatic Cancer Post by: Allhallowsday on March 07, 2008, 10:32:42 PM Though I'm no fan, this is devastating news. Life marches on, eh? It only gets faster, folks. If you pray, say a prayer for Patrick. It can at least do you good, and I for one believe in the "power of positive thinking." I think he's a good gentle person who has given us at least a few smiles and hopefully many more. I should add ROADHOUSE to a guilty pleasures list... :smile: PATRICK SWAYZE is in our thoughts.
