Oh man. Score one for the National Enquirer, I guess.
The official statement was handed down from his agent today and the diagnosis isn’t good, but sunnier than the National Enquirer made it out to be:
“Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Patrick’s physician Dr. George Fisher states, ‘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 timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.’ Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family.”
All cancer is very serious, so we hope Patrick Swayze’s treatment goes well. While we apologize for fostering the rumor about his plastic surgery earlier today, we’re happy we could add to the legions who think he has OK hair.
Now, when we watch Ghost and cry, we can tell whoever sees us that it if for Patrick Swayze.
