Rumors shot around the interwebs this morning, based on a report from The National Enquirer, that Patrick Swayze had pancreatic cancer and had five weeks to live. Considering the source, I didn't want to write anything about this until it was confirmed by a more reputable source (in a manner of speaking). Unfortunately it was...
Swayze's rep released the following statement to TMZ (by the way, how sad is it that TMZ is now considered the reputable news source?):
"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."Well at least they deny that the world only gets five more weeks of The Swayz. Either way it's a real bummer. Let's hope he can pull through.
It has not been a good month so far for the stars of Road House, one of my all-time favorite movies. Yesterday it was announced that Jeff Healey, the Double Deuce's guitar player, passed away after a battle with cancer. Healey had lost his eyesight as a child due to cancer.
We know nothing in the world can kill Sam Elliot...Kelly Lynch you better watch your back!
