Sad news about Patrick Swayze, the actor has checked himself into the hospital and has pneumonia.

A&E president Abbe Raven confirmed the news saying, “As we arrived here this morning we have some news. Patrick Swayze has checked himself into the hospital. However, he asked us specifically to go forward with today’s panel. We wish him the very best with his recovery.”

Swayze, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, canceled a scheduled appearance where he was expected to talk about his new show, The Beast.

A source told People magazine,”Patrick is undergoing treatment and he’s still fighting. He felt so bad that he couldn’t be at the TCAs. He’s fighting and doing well, and that’s all anybody can hope for at this stage. He is not at death’s door. Nobody ever knows with cancer, but he’s doing alright. As soon as he’s out, he’s going to try to reschedule as much as he can.”
