Just days after the unfortunate passing of fellow Road House castmember Jeff Healey, Patrick Swayze announced that he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Though the disease is in its early stages, most who suffer from pancreatic cancer are usually given less than 7 months to live.
Dirty Dancing star's publicist stated that it was detected early, and that, so far, he is responding well to his treatment. Swayze is still working on 2 projects set to release later this year. What a trooper!
The actor had been travelling to Stanford University's cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy.
