Confirmed: Patrick Swayze Has Cancer

91. Michael Landon died of pancreatic cancer @54 around two months after the story was leaked to the media. He went on the the Carson show to dispell rumors of his demise, by doing push-ups. Unfortunately pancreatic cancer is the grim reaper.

94. My prayers are with you. As an oncology nurse, pancreatic cancer doesn't have a good outcome, is usually a terminal diagnosis. Chemo and other treatments are usually palliative and may extend life a while, but there is no cure. Very sad.

101. I worked in film for 4 years and Patrick was one of the few gentlemen in the business. He had a great attitiude on the set and was a true professional. How many actors have you seen that will get in there and do some manual labor and help move wooden railroad ties so a shot can get done faster??? Only Patrick. Get better soon !!!!

104. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly forms of cancer. In most cases patients diagnosed with the disease live less than three years. My father died of the disease four months after diagnosis. The problem is early detection. There are no methods for detecting the disease in it's early stages, thus by the time it is discovered (via symptoms) it is often too late. You can help by visiting one of these two websites and learning more or making a contribution to fighting the disease. Sadly, while this is one of the most deadly forms of cancer out there, pancreatic cancer research receives only a small fraction of the money donated to cancer research. www.pancan.org or www.lustgarten.org for more info.

I wish Patrick well. I had a huge crush on him in the 80's.

105. That is very sad news. And I'm so very sorry to say that "treatment" for pancreatic cancer usually does not do well. My mother died from pancreatic cancer. Six months from the time of diagnosis until her death. I'm so sorry for him and his family and my prayers go out to them.
