Swayze's Doctor Disputes Near-Death Reports

Patrick Swayze's doctor has confirmed the actor has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - but insists he's not as close to death as reports suggest. Tabloid and internet reports suggested the Ghost star was fighting for his life and had been given just five weeks to live, but his physician Dr. George Fisher suggests he's a lot more optimistic about the actor's recovery. In a statement issued to Wenn on Wednesday, Dr. Fisher says, "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." The Dirty Dancing hunk's publicist Annett Wolf adds, "Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. 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."

Sad news i hope he makes a full recovery

Dirty Dancing is one of my favourite movies ever

I always liked him ,I do hope he makes a speedy recovery:)

I wish him a speedy recovery

Hopefully Patrick will make a quick and speedy recovery.

I was thinking the first report might not be entirely true because of the way they put 'has cancer' in the title. My thoughts are with him and his family as he undergoes treatment. I hope he makes a full recovery soon.

I amended the title to say that Kim as it originally said "has 5 weeks to live" and as I'd found that that wasn't the case, felt the title shouldn't remain as such.

I wish him well but sadly he is in for a tough old fight
