Just so sad.

I mentioned that in my first post but it's very sad nonetheless.

It's not fair, that all the good and great actors/actresses are either very sick and/or dying from something. All the others that we don't care about or pay attention to, are still living healthy, and for a very long time. I hope that
(Patrick) will beat this and live for a long time; he's a great actor. I will pray for him, and my thoughts & prayers are with him, and his entire family.

A&E: Swayze pilot still a go
By Kimberly Nordyke

March 6, 2008

A&E Network said its drama pilot "The Beast" still is under consideration for a series pickup following the news that star Patrick Swayze is being treated for pancreatic cancer.

"Beast," which stars Swayze as an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran, is "in contention to become one of the new drama series on the network," A&E said. "However, at this time all of our thoughts are solely with Patrick and his family. We are all wishing for a speedy recovery to a truly gifted actor."

Swayze's rep said that, according to his doctor, the actor has a "very limited amount of disease and appears to be responding well to treatment."

His rep added that "Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects."

Swayze's upcoming credits include the film "Powder Blue," set for release later this year.

Make's you wonder how short life really is.

Was happy to see this; "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far," Dr. George Fisher says in a statement. "All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic." People.com

Hopefully that means it was caught in time.

Actually I was surprised that it was that long ago. For some reason I thought it was only a few years back. Glad I confirmed. Yes, I don't want to be a bummer pesimisstic at all, but anyone I've heard of getting it in the pancreas has never survived. Odd too, might be just me, but I haven't thought he's looked well for quite a while. I remember seeing a pic of him and his wife in People at some function last year and he was looking quite pale and drawn. Seemed to have "aged" a few years quickly too. Not that it necessarily has any connection, just odd.

Just shows - the guy probably has never smoked, been fit like crazy all his life and still he gets this. Nobody said life was fair, but it can really suck sometimes.

I just read this morning that Patrick Swayze is losing the battle; it won't be much longer; so sad, another great actor is leaving this earth.
