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.

64. nobody on earth comes with an expiration date

so as long as you're alive, fight for every breath

even if it's just one more

because they're all worth it

65. It's a miracle to survive for a year after being diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer, so I hope there will be more miracles to come for Patrick and Lisa.

66. Um.
Actually we do come with an expiration date, which we probably determined before we were born, along wih all the other trials and tribulation we agreed to go through while on earth.

Life is a school and a testing ground for all of us.
No one lives much beyond their appointed time.
Personally, I look forward to going HOME.

70.

Um

Really? What date do you have stamped on your belly? Because I'm looking on mine and I don't have one.

I know we're all going to die ONE DAY - you definitely misunderstood the point.

56 is too young to give up.

71. Patrick,

You and Lisa have all my best thoughts and prayers as you sail over this hurdle in your illness. We still have to compete against each other at U.S.Nationals, WP-AAOTR, (a lifelong dream of mine) so fight as hard as you can. Don't give up as so many people are rooting for you! I am so happy that you have Lisa as your life's partner. I know she is an amazing support for you. We love you!

72. How very sad....when you have cancer--and your breathing gets more difficult-and labored-you are toward the end of it all....

73. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

74. I wish you the best, Patrick! You have come so far, with such class. And Lisa too. Stay strong.

75. I just watched the interview he did with Barbara Walters (i recorded it on DVR) and I have to say that it really touched my heart. In this day and age when people have no value on marriage, Patrick and Lisa prove that you can weather any storm and still be deeply in love.

I wish him all the best! He's a great man, a gentle soul.
