Patrick Swayze Stops All Treatment

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.

Patrick Swayze Out Of Hospital

Patrick Swayze’s reps have confirmed that he has been released from the hospital.

Swayze checked himself in, suffering from pneumonia on January 9th. Given his battle with pancreatic cancer, his recovery from pneumonia has been remarkable.

Once again, Patrick has shown how tough and resilient he is. Let’s hope he can keep the fight going for some time yet.

Patrick Swayze Remains Positive

Patrick Swayze’s mother says the actor remains positive, despite his latest set back, being hospitalized with pneumonia.

When I heard he had pneumonia, I thought that it would really take its toll on his weakened immune system, but once again he seems to be sticking it to the illness and not giving in.

Last week on the ABC he denied that he was on his deathbed, but acknowledged that in reality he only has two years to live.

Hopefully, he can again prove the experts wrong and defy the disease.

Swayze Denies He’s “Near Death”

Patrick Swayze has denied that he’s on his last legs in his fight with pancreatic cancer, and that his reported “tearful farewell” with his family is nothing more than a normal holiday celebration.

In fact, despite still suffering from the debilitating illness, Swayze says that he’s in good spirits and is feeling great.

“The only thorn in my side being that many tabloids have been consistently reporting lies and false information about me and those close to me,” Swayze, 56, said.

He added: “They’re [the tabloids] reporting that I’m on my last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family [but it's not true].”

“Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease and from the moment I was diagnosed, I knew I was in for the fight of my life,” Swayze said.

“It’s a battle, and so far, I’ve been winning. I’m one of the lucky few that responds well to treatment.”

Swayze has just returned home to spend the holiday season with his family after finishing work on his new television series, The Beast.

Patrick Swayze’s Cancer Spreads To Liver

I was only wondering the other night, how Patrick Swayze’s battle with cancer was going. I have posted previously on his miraculous improvement, since his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, but now the news is not looking so good, with the cancer having spread to his liver.

Patrick has started saying goodbye to family and friends and is preparing for the end.

He had been advised by doctors to expect this outcome and that once the disease spread, he would need to prepare for the end. Patrick had suspected the news would not be good, as he has been suffering increased weakness and breathlessness to the point of feeling faint.

Patrick has told his wife, Lisa and brother that he doesn’t have long to live, with his brother fearing that he was already on his death bed when told by Lisa. [Source]

This is very sad news indeed and we can all hope that Patrick can pull another miracle out of the bag. I am sure everyone will send Patrick and his family their best wishes.
