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.

91. Soon someone else will have to save "Baby" from the corner. Patrick has to spend all his time slaying his own beast, or die trying.

92. I think he is probably one of the coolest actors of my time, a true family man, stays of out the limelight, admits to his demons (smoking) yet faces them. I think my favorite movie was Point Break, but come on Ghost and Dirty Dancing rocked too. Be strong, your beautiful wife and family will get you there. My mom thought John Wayne was the coolest, Patrick I think you are. Speedy speedy recovery, you can do it.

94. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer has no cure. I lost a friend to this horrific killer. He found out in October and was gone by December. Everyday that Parick is alive, is a blessinjg. Let's just pray for him and may he find peace within himself. Truly, a great guy.

99. What a brave, courageous, honest man. And what talent! I love what he said in the Barbara Walters interview, about the energy inside us, that soul that must go somewhere, that energy never dies--he's a believer. And how he said that love, love is what lasts, love is what you take with you. Your flesh and blood and all your stuff stays behind, but the love lasts.

The love he shares with his loving and faithful wife by his side all those years, nearly unheard of in Hollywood, that love lasts and will never die. Lisa what a wonderful woman you are, and may God strengthen you and give you just what you need to get through this--the knowledge that you two will be together in eternity, true soulmates.

". . . sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe, that Jesus died and rose again, even so them which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him."

When our loved ones pass over to the other side, we can rest assured knowing that the soul is not dead, the energy continues, the love is everlasting, and the Bible says they are sleeping. That means, one day, they will wake up!

"wherefore comfort one another with these words"

I Thess. 4:14-18

Thank you Jesus for men like Patrick Swayze, who have blessed this world with their purity of spirit, their love, their commitment, their passion, their soul. We love you Patrick! And we love you Lisa! Love never dies.

100. My fiancé passed away from pancreatic cancer in 1994. He opted out of the chemo treatments because doctors told him it would only prolong his life at the end when he would be terribly sick. He decided to live his life to the fullest while feeling well enough to at the beginning. I was the one who was mad and asked why him – he accepted it and said there would be no answers, he was a true hero and went out with dignity.

101. "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him!"

I Thess. 4:13,14

We love you Patrick! That love will live forever, and never die. You take it with you, feel it now, may it carry you into the Light and to meet the Dad you loved so deeply all your life. He's waiting for you, and you'll all be together again, because love never dies.

102.
I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

That song he wrote, what a beautiful song, it will keep on playing, he will keep on singing, we will never forget . . . Lisa you're so blessed to have Patrick, and love never dies.

104. wow this is the nicest I've actually ever seen people on TMZ usually I never go on here because people are so rude. Its nice to actually see some nice comments for a change and people that love what Patrick does and hope hes going to be okay. Hes in for the fight of his life though and hes a great man and I hope he pulls through.

105. American 1- your disgusting you said everyone is leaving this place so whats the big deal? Wash your mouth out with soap! The big deal is that yes everyone will die but that doesnt make it easier. Everyone is entitled to have a long enriched and full live, and they should be able to live happily until their very old. Patrick is a great person inside and out and doesnt deserve to go through what hes going through thats what the big deal is jerk!
