Yes, it's (sadly) true - Ghost star Patrick Swayze has cancer.
His physician, Dr. George Fisher, says in a statement that "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far."
And of the reports claiming the actor may only have weeks to live? "Absolutely untrue," says Fisher. "We are considerably more optimistic."
Our best wishes to Patrick and his family and friends during this difficult time...
Get better!

FINALY you post the story after PEREZ and TMZ. Hours after. You all are always the LAST to post anything except the bullshit stories you make up!
I mean't finally!
Patrick, if you read this, please know that Jesus is still in the healing business. Pray to him, he will hear you.
My prayers are with Patrick.
i seriously doubt he is reading this with a few months to live.
Sad! I'll be praying for him. He was my first celebrity crush. :(
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I love Patrick Swayze. My prayers are with him. I'm going to go watch The Outsiders & Dirty Dancing; and cry!:((((((((
As I said HOURS AGO on TMZ, I pray that it is true that it was caught early and Patrick makes it or at least has more time than it seems. I love the guy's acting. Ghost, The Outsiders, Roadhouse, Dirty Dancing etc.
Prayers and strength to you, Patrick!
Who doesn't love Patrick Swayze! We're all hoping you come out of this okay!
my pryaers are with Patrick and his wife Lisa. North and South will always be my #1 favorite movie (I love Orry)

SO glad to hear that the doctors are optimistic. This guy seems like such a cool dude. And I love his dancing/acting. Really hope he makes it.
I belong to a grief group for loved ones of cancer victims. Of all the people with loved ones stricken with pancreatic cancer.. not one of those loved ones survived more than 3 months. Even with treatment, they went through hell the whole time.
I think of Michael Landon; announced his in April and died July 1.
Sadly, pancreatic cancer is almost always fatal. I hope Patrick beats it, but the odds are not in his favor.
No matter what spin they put on this story, with pancreatic cancer Patrick had better set his affairs in order - he is on his way out.
In a few years there will be transplants of pancreas too but we're not at that stage yet.
He is a cuttie. I saw his profile on millionaire&celeb dating site "WealthyRomance.com"
last week. Is he single now? Just curious.
You have to be optimistic with pancreated cancer because that is all you have left. That disease is a killer and I agree with the above poster who stated that people diagnosed with this disease don't live over 6 months, none that I have hear of in any case.
We love you Patrick!! Jesus Heals. Our love, thoughts & prayers are with you, your wife and your family. May God bless & give you the strenght that you need.

Patrick is such a talented man in so many ways. He is an outstanding dancer, movie star, a wonderful husband and father amoung so many different things. I am sure he will be with us for many years to come. Hang in there Patrick!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
This is horrible news!
Guess there won't be a sequel to "Roadhouse" now. Dammit.
It is true.I saw the man on "SeekingRich.com"last week.
Terrible, yes.....love him in everything he does. Did you see him on Oprah a few weeks ago? He looked good then.
It is true; most pancreatic caner is fatal. I have been in the medical field for 15 years and have yet to see someone live through it.
Still love ya Pat!! Loved your Mom's dance studio in Simi Valley!!!!!
he has a difficult fight ahead of him I really hope he manages to overcome this disease

My cousin was diagnosed in July and passed away in December. It is a fast killer. However, If Patrick has fullfilled his contract with God, then it is his time to go home and we should be happy for him. We grieve because we have been left behind. Earth is the real Hell and he will be with God. Be happy for him and supportive of those left behind.
I just want to say i am praying for you and I know that god will guide you and be with you every step of the way. I have always loved you and said to everyone if I could meet my favorite actor it would be PatricK SWAYZE. I will continue to pray for you cuz only God knows what he needs from you. Be strong and it will be ok. God bless you Patrick and remember it will be okay no matter what God has you love you and will guide you for ever.
dont give up your a fighter we send all our love and postive thoughts to you to fight this battle, moy from oz

I have loved Patrick ever since I was a little girl, and I just want to say how this breaks my heart. I know that everything happens for a reason, but this just isn't fair. I think he will fight this....I believe in him!

Patrick, no one came close in comparison to you. You were one of a kind. You had it all. You were charming and charismatic and you could dance like no one else. I am sorry for your pain and suffering. I have also suffered with cancer and I know how difficult it was for you. I know you rest in a better place. You will be missed by a great many people. God Bless you and may you rest in peace. If you should see my father and sister please tell them that I love them.
