Say it ain't so!


Is Patrick Swayze dying??

According to The National Enquirer, Swayze has pancreatic cancer and has just five weeks to live. The magazine says the star of Dirty Dancing and Ghost was diagnosed in January and that the cancer has spread to other organs.

Apparently doctors aren't optimistic despite three doses of chemotherapy. An unidentified source told the Enquirer: "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."

Who can forget his role in the gay classic To Wong Foo: Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar? And remember, he once had a top 10 single She's Like the Wind. And who can forget Road House? He was nominated for a Razzie Award for that one as worst actor of the year. And that mullet!

Maybe he draw some inspiration from one of his most famous lines from Dirty Dancing: "Nobody puts Baby into a corner."

Having a sister who is battling cancer herself, I can try and relate a little. But pancreatic cancer is the worst. As a co-worker said, it's like an arrow through the heart. Let's hope the news isn't true.
