It has been reported today that the 80’s star Patrick Swayze has terminal cancer that has spread from his pancreas throughout his body. They say that chemotherapy has not been successful and that the doctors give him just five weeks to live. Here is the report:
“ In a shocking world exclusive, The National Enquirer has uncovered the devastating news that the beloved Hollywood actor and dancer was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs.
Full details are in the print addition of The National Enquirer that goes on sale tomorrow.
For the past month, Patrick, 55, has been travelling to Stanford University’s prestigious cancer centre in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatment will be successful.
Patrick and his wife Lisa Niemi - who both have pilot’s licenses -have been flying their private Beechcraft plane into Palo Alto’s airport, minutes away from the Stanford Cancer Centre, where the actor has received outpatient treatment.
He received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less than his doctors had hoped for - and Patrick was told he should prepare for the end.
“He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short they held out little hope for a cure,” said an insider.

Apparently, the actor has already lost 20lb and is on a liquid diet as he can no longer keep his food down.
