Patrick Swayze’s publicist has just confirmed that Patrick is suffering from pancreatic cancer. He was only diagnosed a month ago, but the cancer had already spread.
According to PageSix.com “The average life expectancy is six to nine months, with only 4 percent of patients living more than five years.”
Patrick’s rep has released this statement regarding Patrick’s illness.
“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 timeframe 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.”
All our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time
