Swayze Battling Cancer
























It was publicly acknowledged today that actor Patrick Swayze is battling pancreatic cancer.  The 55-year-old star best known for roles in Dirty Dancing and Ghost is apparently responding well to treatment, according to his physician.

This is too personal for us.   We are well aware that pancreatic cancer is nothing to take lightly, particularly after Larry had his own diagnosis of the same in 2004.

Pancreatic carcinoma, one of the forms of pancreatic cancer, is highly lethal and generally takes patients within a matter of a few months (noting that nothing in the news releases indicates which form of pancreatic cancer Swayze has).  We wish him, and his family, well facing this challenging ordeal.
