This is definitely not what his fans want to hear.
Patrick Swayze has reportedly stopped all medical treatment for his cancer.
The National Enquirer is reporting that doctors told Patrick there was little left that they could do to halt the progress of his illness.
Patrick was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 12 months ago. The prognosis of this disease is normally poor, with most patients surviving less than six months after diagnosis.
As we all know, Patrick has been putting up a brave fight and has been something of a miracle man up to this point. He recently was hospitalised and recovered from pneumonia.
As expected, the illness on top of his disease has taken its toll with Patrick weakened by his fight.
A friend tells The Enquirer:
“There’s nothing more doctors can do for him.”
We are down to the wire and the goal now is to keep Patrick comfortable.”
“His condition is inoperable and they have stopped the chemo. He’s still losing weight and he’s very weak.”
“Patrick regards himself as a cowboy, and is determined to die with his boots on and no regrets.”
His weakness is to be expected, considering his condition, but let’s hope things aren’t quite as grim as this report would make it seem.
