Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer

[OhJane]

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 today.
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.

I can't believe this too, I though it was a joke

[Street_a_Licious]

i didnt believe it when the National Enquirer posted that story (cuz, srsly, who believes the NE these days?) but since it was confirmed via pagesix...

i still hope it's just a bad bad joke, but i doubt it.

They confirmed that he has cancer, but the five weeks to live part is false.
