Patrick Swazye 5 weeks to live?

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."


Yeah, yeah, it's the fucking Enquirer, home of Bat Boy, but I'd actually read something similar in a hollywood rumor blurb over the weekend off some random website. Just in case it's true I thought I would post it.

For the oppressed, peace is the absence of oppression, but for the oppressor, peace is the absence of resistance.

Fox News is reporting it now as well. Although Fox News and the Enquirier share the same level of credibility, so take it for what it's worth.


To me, Swayze will always be the motivational speaker from Donnie Darko and not Ghost, or Dirty Dancing guy, or Roadhouse guy like he will to most. He really seemd like a nice person. Cancer is such a bad way to go.

eh, sort of true. This thread piqued my interest in this article. He has pancreatic cancer, but apparently it isn't severe and he is responding well to treatments.
