Hope he makes a full recovery.  Cancer is evil.

This isn't good news.

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.

i think this is what michael landon had as i remember. He gave some news interview and was clearly upset.

20% survive the first year. Only 5% survive beyond 5 years

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.

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...    PATRICK SWAYZE is in our thoughts.
