Update: Patrick Swayze Confirms He Has Cancer
PATRICK SWAYZE HAS TERMINAL CANCER
March 5, 2008 -- Twinkle-toed tough guy Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and might only have weeks to live, a rep for the dirty dancer said yesterday.
Swazyze's publicist confirmed to Page Six that he's suffering from pancreatic cancer, which could tragically bring down the curtain on his remarkably diverse career.
Swazye was diagnosed with the cancer more than a month ago.
The average life expectancy is six to nine months, with only 4 percent of patients live more than five years.
