Patrick Swayze in hosp with pneumonia

[caseysmom]

Just heard on today's news - Patrick is still in the hospital; the cancer has spread to his lungs and he has a less than 10% chance of beating this.
I'm not getting involved in the smoking/not smoking controversy - I'm an ex-smoker (over 15 years ago) and I hate it, I'll just leave it at that.
I'm sorry for Patrick; he has always seemed to be a good man and he's done some wonderful films. I did see some of the Barbara Walters interview; he and his wife seem very much in love and I'm sure this is killing her as well.

I can't find any news links saying the cancer has spread to his lungs, do you have a link?

From January 14 (today)

The Houston born actor, who has battled stage 4 pancreatic cancer for a year, says his recent bout with pneumonia is improving.

However, his Mom died of lung cancer. Maybe the newscaster got things a bit mixed.

Today is actually the 15th

I found this but it states it's from the National Enquirer, so I don't know how accurate it is.

My thoughts and prayers still go out to him and his wife.

Here's the Enquirer story (emphasis mine):

‘Dirty Dancing’ star Patrick Swayze is in worse health than was feared as the pancreatic cancer he suffers from may have spread to his lungs.

The Hollywood actor (56) was admitted to hospital with pneumonia last week. US magazine the ‘National Enquirer’ reported that Swayze, who is apparently having difficulty breathing, may now have lung cancer.

One of his doctors told the magazine: “Patrick has never looked so bad.

"I have seen him many, many times, but he is now more ill than ever. He is in real pain.”

They only quoted the Enquirer, not a doc, as saying he may have lung cancer. And he has been in major pain since the treatments started - and refusing painkillers while he worked on the show "The Beast". LOTS of pain there, but no problems with him on the show.
