Patrick Swayze Doing Better

Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer, but it is responding to treatment. His physician, Dr. George Fisher, said:

"Patrick Swayze continues to respond well to his treatment for pancreatic cancer. Because of his excellent response, he will continue the same therapy at Stanford."

Swayze’s wife Lisa Niemi added:

"We’re thrilled and grateful for the positive response Patrick has shown towards his treatment. Also, we can’t help but feel that all the prayers, meditations and good thoughts sent his way by everyone has made a difference. Thank you!"

Swayze is undergoing chemotherapy, but not radiation treatment at this time, according to his rep. Pancreatic cancer is almost always fatal. The most a person can hope for is a little more time, which it seems like Swayze might get, but it probably won’t be a lot of time.
