Oh Swayze, you dancin' fool you!

While Patrick Swayze's doctor did confirm that the actor has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he says the National Enquirer's report claiming that Swayze has only five weeks to live is false. In a statement released yesterday, Dr. George Fisher said:

"Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic." (Source)

So I shouldn't trust the National Enquirer with medical prognoses? Thanks a lot Doc! Where were you last month when I had that rash and called up the Enquirer offices for advice? The woman who answered the phone said I was "clearly fucking crazy". So naturally I went down to Mexico and purchased some Prozac. Well guess what? THE PILLS DIDN'T WORK. Now it burns when I pee.*

Patrick Swayze has five weeks to live?

The National Enquirer claims Patrick Swayze has only five weeks to live. Earlier this year the actor was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has since spread to other organs. Since receiving the news Swayze and his wife have been traveling the Stanford University cancer center in Palo Alto to receive treatment but doctors are less than optimistic. An insider told the mag:

"He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short - they held out little hope for a cure. It's time to start praying for a miracle." (Source)

This better not be one of those funny plays on words like "I'm dying to see you", "I died laughing", or "You have an inoperable brain tumor." The doctor totally got me with that last one a few weeks ago. It still gives me headaches when I think about it . . . or when I think about anything else . . . weird.

UPDATE: Swayze's publicist just confirmed to the New York Post that he has cancer:

Twinkle-toed tough guy Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and might only have weeks to live, a rep for the dirty dancer said today.

Swayze's publicist confirmed to Page Six that he's suffering from pancreatic cancer, which could tragically bring down the curtain on his remarkably diverse career.

Swayze was diagnosed with the cancer more than a month ago.

The average life expectancy is six to nine months, with only 4 percent of patients live more than five years.

Last month, Page Six reported that the "Ghost" star underwent a serious "gastrointestinal procedure" at Stanford University Medical Center. His rep said then that the procedure went well and that he was "home and happy." (Source)
