Patrick Swayze's reps have issued a statement confirming that the actor does have pancreatic cancer.*
"Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Patrick's physician Dr. George Fisher states, 'Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.' Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."

Patrick been married to Lisa Niemi since 1975. The couple have been together since Lisa, at 15, began dance lessons with Swayze's mother. His formal dance training was at the Harkness Ballet and Joffrey Ballet Schools in New York City. That's pretty impressive, both the Joffrey and his marriage. I don't know anyone who doesn't love Patrick and I wish him the best.

good, posotive thoughts out to you Mr Swayze. You are a great guy & good husband. It says alot about him, marrying his childhood sweetheart & staying with her for life. You never hear anything bad about him either. This is a good guy, so it figures it would happen to someone like him. Thats how it always goes. I hope his treatments can help. I'm gonna watch my "Ghost" DVD this weekend. and now I know for sure I will cry when he fades away at the end :(
Stupid effing Enquirer they get so dramatic, I get my good gossip from my bloggers! lol No, truthfully I was affected by the news like everyone else, and I am glad he is doing well with the treatment. I loved him in all his movies, especially Too Wong Foo!
He's a graceful man =)
Anon @ 8:16 said it best; He *is* a good guy, great husband and artist. Hard to believe they've been together since 1975-- I graduated *high*school that year! And in all the years since, I've never heard/read a word spoken again him.
This is truly a sad one... hope he makes it.
