Unfortunataly it seems Patrick Swayze is starting to surcome to Cancer

[huedell]

re: the actual point of this thread-----my feelings go out
to Swayze and his fans---one of the the toughest of roads.

[starsky]

i wish him the best of luck and hopefully he pulls thru.

It sucks cause I thought he was doing much better with his new show and all

Point Break
RoadHouse
and Ghost will always be in my top faves

I'll steal a line from Point Break "vaya con Dios"

A tough road lies for him. May he have the strength and will to persevere. I hope it's not true.

From what I've read he's already saying goodbye to family and friends as he has only a few weeks to live

I saw that when I went on wiki---I'll take it that it's accurate info---
---apparently it spread to vital organs in a fashion that confirms
it as terminal.

Scary. Seems like he has handled it as well as can be expected.

No one's mentioned his work in RED DAWN---I saw it recently and I thought
it was a pretty good movie.

GHOST will always be my definitive Swayze flick though....heck, it could be
my definitive Demi and Whoopie flick as well---it's that good.

Yeah Red Dawn was good and so was the Outsiders even though he had a small part.

and yes I agree with you on Ghost,still one of the best movies ever.My mom took us to see it like 12 times at the movies in 91 when I was 11...I kid you not and we enjoyed it all 12 times.My mom even payed $100 for the VHS movie when it was first released

I remember seeing him for the first time in North and South, great show

Is it me, or are people dying younger and younger, from all kinds of cancers...

Must be all the crap we're eating/drinking/breathing.....

Today's life expectancy is the highest ever.

The thing about cancer is that it has always struck people since the dawn of time..it's just that it was not always diagnosed as such...especially in the old days.

[mego73]

That's true. It's the same thing with food poisoning. It's been happening a log time but it's only now we have the tech know how to boil down a person's problem to that or to detect some sort of contamination in the food supply. Back about 50 years ago, such a thing would go unnoticed and people would get sick and attribute it to... getting sick, instead of getting bad food somewhere.

It's too late for Swayze, but Japanese scientists (with some help from American scientists) have found what looks to be a cure for three kinds of cancer (prostate, colon and breast). The patients treated with the cure 7 years ago are all cured and no relapses in 7 years. Sounds promising for sure. They're now working on curing the other cancers

Not so fast says Swayze...
