Patrick Swayze Diagnosed With Pancreatic Cancer With Only Five Weeks Left to Live

This kind of news is always weird. I can’t imagine a doctor telling me that I only had five weeks left to live.

Patrick Swayze Diagnosed With Cancer, Five Weeks Left to Live


Patrick Swayze, best known for his role in Dirty Dancing, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told that he has just five weeks to live.

Swayze, 55, has been sick with the disease since he was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer. The cancer has since spread to other organs and now the actor/dancer is dying.

For the past month, Swayze has been traveling to Stanford University’s prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatments will be successful, according to the National Enquirer.

Swayze received three treatments of chemotherapy, causing the tumor to shrink, but less than his doctors had hoped for. He was then told that he should prepare for the end.
