Patrick Swayze Hospitalized

Patrick Swayze has checked himself into the hospital after he came down with pneumonia.

Swayze was supposed to take part in a presentation for his show, "The Beast" -- but when he couldn't make it, the president of the A&E network informed reporters about the situation, at Patrick's request.

"He asked us specifically to go forward with today's panel. We wish him the very best with his recovery."

Swayze revealed last year that he is battling pancreatic cancer.

136. If Steve Jobs can beat this type of cancer, why can't Patrick? It is NOT always fatal like we have been hearing...it CAN be beat, and if anyone deserves to beat this thing, it's our Patrick. Hang in there Patrick and know that so many people you will never know are praying for your recovery and your comfort. Prayers also for your family who love you so very much.

142. I really like Patrick Swayze and am curious with all his $$$ and connections why he is not getting treatment in Germany at 1 of 6 Cancer Spas that claim they can Cure Cancer? It is only $35,000 for the "Cure" compared to $350,000 for treatment here in the states!

143. Patrick, hang in there. If I can survive Hurricane Katrina, losing everything gained and worked for in 58 years, dealing with "hell of a job Brownie," the lack of assistance from the Louisiana Delegation in DC, and FEMA you can kick that dragon in the ass. Now, pneumonia is something different - I almost died from it four years ago. Finally, please quit smoking!

144. I honestly cannot even think of the words to put here. Patrick Swayze has meant so much to me throughout my whole entire life (not in an obsessive fan sort of way, but just as a role model and inspiration). He is truely a diamond in the rough. He will pull through this and live his life to the fullest.

And for anyone who is bitching about him smoking.. lay off. He's been a smoker for a long time, and if he quits now, it's likely that it wont make much of a difference. He's living his life the way he wants, and the way most comfortable for him.

Patrick, we love you.
