PATRICK SWAYZE HAS 5 WEEKS TO LIVE! WTF?

Published: March 5, 2008 - 10:11 AM

Keep in mind the word comes from the National Enquirer, but they aren't always wrong. Just usually.

The claim is that the beloved Hollywood actor and dancer was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs..

For the past month, Patrick, 55, has been traveling to Stanford University's prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatments will be successful.

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.

I emailed a friend who is the owner/editor
of an arabian horse newspaper, she may be
able to verify this. I sure hope it's not
true, he's a fine actor, and horse lover.
