Patrick Swayze’s family support

Patrick Swayze’s friends and family have come forward to lend their support to him.

As we all know last week it was revealed that Patrick is battling pancreatic cancer and has received worldwide support from his fans since.

Patrick’s mother said that “Patrick doesn’t deserve to get this. He just doesn’t deserve it. He’s got such a big heart. He’s been such a good and generous and thoughtful person. It breaks my heart to know he’s suffering. But he bears it and he’s determined to beat this. He’s hanging in there and getting the best treatment he can.”

Patrick’s brother Don said that “Patrick noticed some weight loss and jaundice and decided to go to the doctors. It was almost like, ‘Hey, it’s time to get a check up anyway; this would be a good time.’ The diagnosis came out of left field because it seemed like he would know if there was something really drastic. I was looking in his eyes and I didn’t see a flicker of fear. Now I’m buying him gourmet chicken pot pies and we’re putting them in the blender. He wants to keep his weight up, and now he’s back on solid foods.”

We wish him all the best in his recovery

Do not pull them up tight and have your bulge showing. Let it hang! I didn’t want anything too tight around the crotch. That really repulses me.

Madonna suffers from severe anxiety attacks

Madonna has said that she suffers from severe anxiety attacks onstage and fears she may one day die during a concert.

Madonna suffers from crippling pre-gig nerves and takes extreme action to reduce the attacks.

Madonna said that “I have moments where I feel incredibly invincible and know that I have the audience in my hand - I know that everything is absolutely perfect. And then I have panic attacks where I feel like everyone is breathing my air and I cannot live up to everybody’s expectations and I might just die on stage. I normally try to turn my back to the audience, take a deep breath and remind myself that it’s all temporary. I’m not worried about f**king up - I really have a panic attack that everyone else is breathing my air. It’s hard to describe. When you have panic attacks you cannot rationalise them. Obviously there’s enough oxygen for me but it never happens outdoors, it’s normally in indoor sports arenas that feel very close when suddenly I feel claustrophobic. It’s not a fear of performing”.

Do you suffer from severe anxiety?
