Patrick Swayze Is Not Dying

Paul @ Gone Hollywood

Last week I posted a story that alleged Patrick Swayze had taken a turn for the worse and was about to die, it turns out that it isn’t true.

The story also claimed that Swayze had been saying goodbye to all his family and friends after doctors told him it was the “countdown to the end.”

In a statement to People, the actor says that he is not dying and the only trouble he is having is the tabloids.

The 56-year-old says, “I’m very proud of the work I’ve done on my new series The Beast, and I am happy to be back home for the holidays. It’s a great feeling of accomplishment to say you’re gonna do something and do it. The only thorn in my side being that many tabloids have been consistently reporting lies and false information about me and those close to me. And latest, they’re reporting that I’m on my last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family! Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease and from the moment I was diagnosed, I knew I was in for the fight of my life. It’s a battle, and so far, I’ve been winning. I’m one of the lucky few that responds well to treatment.”

He goes on to say, “it’s upsetting that the shoddy and reckless reporting from these publications cast a negative shadow on the positive and good fight I’m fighting. For me, my family, and those close to me, it amounts to downright emotional cruelty. That makes me angry when hope is so precious. As always, I appreciate all the love and support people have sent and continue to send my way. I thank you.”

That’s got to be tough on Patrick Swayze and his family having different stories about his cancer being released, but like I said last time – since he was spotted smoking while in chemotherapy (see the other post) it wouldn’t surprise me much.

Patrick Swayze Takes Turn For The Worse

Paul @ Gone Hollywood

Patrick Swayze has apparently taken a turn for the worse after finding out his cancer had spread to his liver.

Swayze is supposedly saying goodbye to his friends and family after doctors told him it is the “countdown to the end.”

A source said that he “knew it was coming because he was suffering increased weakness. At times, he was so weak that he could barely walk without feeling faint. Sometimes he feels out of breath and has to sit down.”

When he told his wife Lisa, she called up his brother Donny who is “in Los Angeles and told him he need to come to Chicago, where Patrick has been filming TV show The Beast. She was crying and scared Donny to death. Donny got the impression his brother was already on his deathbed because Lisa was saying Patrick wanted to say goodbye. She couldn’t stop crying.”

The actor, who has been undergoing chemotherapy, was looking like he was on the ups and making a full recovery was told he had pancreatic cancer back in January.

I feel bad for Patrick Swayze and his family, however he was spotted smoking while in chemotherapy (see thumbnails) so I aren’t entirely surprised his cancer has gotten worse.

Photo of the Day: Patrick Swayze the ‘Miracle’

Allie @ Gone Hollywood

In the midst of fighting cancer, Patrick Swayze is looking like his old self again – healthy, happy and hot. He told photographers,

“I’m a miracle dude … I don’t know why.”

This is the first time the actor has been seen in public since announcing in March that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
