Patrick Swaze
March 5th, 2008 | by askadmin |Tonight my local TV news reported that Patrick Swayze, the star of Dirty Dancing, who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, was expected to die from the disease within weeks. Fortunately, later national news reports are much more optimistic.
Swayze has pancreatic cancer which has the highest fatality rate of all cancers. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is between three and six months. The most recent reports indicate that Swayze may very well beat those odds.
Swayze’s physician, Dr. George Fisher said in a statement released by the actor’s publicist. “All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.”
According to Dr. Fisher, “Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects”
Our prayers are with Patrick. This author knows from personal experience that even late stage 4 cancer is not an automatic death sentence. I wish Patrick the same miraculous recover that I was blessed with.
