Patrick Swayze died today at the age of 57. Swayze died after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 20 months ago in March of 2008. Swayze’s publicist, Annett Wolf, said today:

"Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months."

Swayze recently filmed an A&E drama called The Beast, and compiled a memoir with his wife.

We are very sad to lose another good Hollywood actor.

Yesterday there was a rumor that Patrick Swayze was dead from his pancreatic cancer, and last week the National Enquirer said Swayze needed to have a lung remove, but neither report was true.

The picture above is Swayze and his wife Lisa Niemi on their ranch in New Mexico last week. Swayze looks thinner, but we are still holding out hope he lives through this cancer.

Last week I thought Patrick Swayze looked half dead. I take that back. This week I think Patrick looks like the walking dead.

I’m still holding out hope he can beat his cancer, and live a few more decades, but his treatment seems to be wearing him down. Stay strong Patrick, and drink some Ensure.

Seeing Swayze like this fills us with sadness.

Pictures of Patrick Swayze made the cover of the National Enquirer, and he doesn’t look good. Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January of 2008, and it’s almost always fatal within a year.

We’re hoping against the odds that Swayze will survive. Keep him in your thoughts.

Patrick Swayze Denies National Enquirer Reports

The National Enquirer today reported that Patrick Swayze:

"… decided to cease treatments for his pancreatic cancer because doctors have told him that there is little else they can do."

Swayze, through his rep, says that’s not true, and is continuing his treatment.

We want to see you beat pancreatic cancer Patrick, and we want to see you quit smoking too.

Patrick Swayze Hospitalized with Pneumonia

Patrick Swayze was hospitalized with pneumonia today after saying he didn’t feel well. Swayze said in his Barbara Walters interview he may only have 2 years to live:

"I’d say five years is pretty wishful thinking. Two years seems likely if you’re going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I’d better get a fire under it."

… but he also said his priority is not to quit smoking, despite his admission that smoking cigarettes may have caused his pancreatic cancer. Maybe his pneumonia will slow down his smoking.

Patrick Swayze Interview with Barbara Walters

Patrick Swayze (56) sat down for an interview with Barbara Walters to talk about his pancreatic cancer. Patrick said:

"There’s a lot of fear here. There’s a lot of stuff going on."

"Yeah, I’m scared. Yeah, I’m angry. Yeah, I’m asking why me. Yeah, I’m all this stuff."

"You can bet that I’m going through hell, and I’ve only seen the beginning of it."

He remembers when he first felt sick in late 2007. As he celebrated New Year’s Eve with his wife, Lisa Niemi, "I tried to have champagne, and it would be like pouring acid, you know, on an open wound," he recalls.

Soon, he says, "my indigestion issues got gigantic and constant. And then I started thinking, I’m getting skinny."

"I dropped about 20 pounds in the blink of an eye. And then when you see it in the mirror, when all of a sudden, you pull your eyes down and the bottom of your eyes go yellow and jaundice sets in, then you know something’s wrong."

Doctors found that Swayze had a malignant tumor in his midsection and a tiny mass on his liver. After a series of procedures over several days, doctors discovered that the actor had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

"I don’t know what’s on the other side," Swayze says. "It tests everything I believe in … that here is something unique in all of us that does not, does not die."

He says he often thinks of his late father.

"I like to believe that I’ve got a lot of guardian warriors sitting on my shoulder, including my dad, saying, ’You just let Swayze dog know it’s been his turn all this time. You just let us do the work and we’ll finish it for him.’"

"And so, I’m trying to shut up and let my angels speak to me and, and tell me what I’m supposed to do."

"What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what’s thrown at me, I can take it, and I can keep going."

Patricks’s wife, Lisa Niemi (52), said:

"For the first few weeks, it was like being in a nightmare you couldn’t wake up from."

We hope the time you have left is the best time of your life Patrick.

Patrick Swayze is going to start filming his new A&E show The Beast this summer. Swayze will play opposite Travis Fimmel. His doctor says he is doing great, and cleared him for work, which is amazing since he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year. Swayze (55) said:

"I have searched for quite a long time to find a character that is this multi-layered, unpredictable, and downright entertaining, as well as a project this current and cutting edged."

In the series, the actor has a starring role playing veteran FBI agent Charles Barker, who is assigned to teach his rookie partner (Fimmel) his eccentric undercover crime-solving methods while secretly being investigated by an Internal Affairs team. Production on the show begins this summer and will film on location in Chicago, with a scheduled premiere date of early 2009.

The show doesn’t sound cutting edge, or even like it’s got any fresh ideas at all.

Swayze is currently undergoing care at Stanford University Medical Center and will continue his course of treatment during filming. Good luck to him.
