Swayze's Treatment Plan Revealed

Early reports of Patrick Swayze's pancreatic cancer said the star had just weeks to live, but "Extra" spotted a healthy-looking Patrick working on his private plane in Los Angeles this week.

Now "Extra" has learned about a revolutionary new treatment which may hold some hope for the "Dirty Dancing" star -- the CyberKnife, a machine that delivers bursts of radiation to cancerous tumors with pinpoint accuracy.

In March, Patrick's physicians announced they were optimistic about his prognosis, saying, "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far."

Patrick has said that he's blown away by the outpouring of support from around the world. As fans wait for more good news, send your own message to Patrick - by leaving a comment below.

15 yrs ago I met you as buddy. I knew you could do what you set out to do then (even if you stumbled a bit) and know you can do what you need to do now. Best of luck. Your mesquite friend. SLA

Patrick,

My mother is a two time cancer survivor, breast and kidney cancer. I do believe in the power of prayer and that God heals. God has definitely kept my mother going. She is 78 years old and the first time she had kidney cancer was about 27 years ago. I will put you on my prayer list, Jesus heals.

mr swayze,
i am a fellow houstonian, & also have pancreatic troubles. my prays are with you everyday. i was raised in the circles you were in, dance studios here in town. i have a great deal of respect for you & your family, whom are also in my prays. i know you are a strong man, in faith, physically & mentally & know you can bet this. in doing so you will give so much hope to those who feel they have no reason to fight.
i want you to know, my kids were raised on your movies, dirty dancing, road house, & next of kin. you have no idea how you instilled a good moral attitude in them thru your work. my pray & wish for you is to get cured & continued to make movies for my 5 grandkids to see & learn from.
please send my thoughts to your family during this trying time & know that we here in houston are rooting for you.

with deepest respect,
kim mcconnaughey
