Patrick Swayze

I've loved him in every movie I have ever seen him in, but the one that melted me the most was the Mini series North and South. Good God that man is HOT!

Wolf issued a written statement from his physician, Dr. George Fisher that said: "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment."

"All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue," Fisher said in the statement. "We are considerably more optimistic."

My boss and my mother were both diagnosed with cancer within a week apart of each other. My bosses prognoses was very poor when he began treatment; my mother's was very good. They both died within a week of each other a few years later. He lived way longer than expected, and my mother didn't live as long as expected.

Cancer is just tricky. I do hope Patrick continues to respond well to the treatment.

I heard on the radio this morning that when the doctors confirmed the cancer, they gave him 5 weeks to live. That's grim. I guess we'll see...

Good Luck, Bro.

First move I saw him in was The Outsiders. Very sad.

Very good movie. One of my faves.

I saw him when he was in the play Chicago.... I had front row center seats and he is even more gorgeous in person

I would bet there isnt a forumite in this forum who doesnt know someone dying of cancer. Its a horrible way to die. Burned alive by radiation, poisoned by Chemo-therapy,
Sliced up by Surgeons. Wasting slowly away until all human dignity is taken away and the person is left a shell,an unrecognisable shell of oneself.

May God have mercy on this man and all cancer victims. Because he is a celebrity his case stands out ,but his case is really no different than any of our friends ,relatives and neighbors who are dying or may die from this terrible disease. My prayers are with all of them.

Amen to that.

Good Luck, Bro.

And I heard he was diagnosed in January. :shrug:

 

[canuk woman]

Ok seriously I didn't expect it to happen like this either.

I thought I heard he was tolerating treatments well and usually doctor's don't like to say you only have weeks to live.

It would be cool if when he dies he comes back in ghostly form to bring his killers to justice--and to watch out over his lovely girlfriend.
