As we reported yesterday, the National Enquirer published a story claiming that Patrick Swayze had only 5 weeks to live.
The story went on to claim that the actor had lost 20 pounds in recent weeks and could not keep solid foods down. However, his publicist released a statement denying those claims.
“Actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Patrick’s physician Dr. George Fisher states, ‘Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.’ Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family.”
This is good news. Hopefully things aren’t as grim as previously thought.
Best wishes to Patrick.
