PATRICK SWAYZE HAS PANCREATIC CANCER
"Dirty Dancing" tough guy Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer and might only have weeks to live, the star’s rep revealed yesterday.
Swayze’s publicist, Annett Wolf, confirmed to Page Six that he’s suffering from pancreatic cancer, which could tragically bring the curtain down on his remarkably diverse career.
Swayze, 55, was diagnosed with the illness more than a month ago. His doctor insisted his patient has a fighting chance for survival. "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far," Dr. Patrick George said. "All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."

Apparently the Doctor thinks the prognosis is good. However, unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is almost always fatal
