Has Swayze's Cancer Spread?

Has Patrick Swayze's pancreatic cancer spread to his lungs? The National Enquirer claims Swayze, in the hospital for pneumonia, has taken a turn for the worse.

"Extra" has new details today from People magazine's bedside interview with Patrick. "I am alive and plan on continuing to stay that way," Patrick asserted.

People magazine Assistant Managing Editor J.D. Heyman tells "Extra," "He came down with a cough, he knew it could be serious, contacted his physician and found out he had pneumonia."

"Extra" Lifechanger and GI Surgical Oncologist at NYU Cancer Institute Dr. Elliot Newman explains what Swayze is going through. "Chemotherapy can weaken the immune system, so certainly people are more susceptible to things like pneumonia."

Swayze's new show "The Beast" premieres Thursday, January 15 on A&E.

Ahh knock it off Gayle. Worst thing about being a celebrity with an illness must be all the well meaning whack jobs insisting they know the surefire cure-all. Let the professionals help him. And leave him alone.

Hello!! I have been banging my head against the wall! How does one get CRUCIAL information to a celebriiity?? I have tried so many things only to come up short. PATRICK PLEASE LISTEN!!!! Your cancer does not have to be a death sentence, not at all! You NEED GLYCONUTRIENTS and you need them NOW! 100% food grade and they start healing upon ingestion! I know there are many many supplements out there, but you have to believe me, this one stands alone, the supplements are global and the science is there to back it up!! Patrick you do not have to die!! If only you would consider this! I want you to meet someone who can tell you , or someone advocating for you or even Lisa , how this works and WHY!!! How I wish you were taking this while going thru the chemo, it would have been so much easier! If there is anyone on here who has any idea how I could get this message to Patrick and Lisa please tell me, time is going by too fast! Please I BEG you to try this, you need it more than anything! Glycobiology is the NEW science out there and is in all the major science books, Harpers Biochemistry chapter 57 will attest to the fact that everyone needs this supplement to heal their body!There is NOTHING in this for me, except knowing that my message got relayed and Patrick was using the supplements! PLEASE CONSIDER SOMETHING THAT WILL NOT HARM YOU?? WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE? Thank God for his pharmacy!

I’m kinda stuck on words right now….I was in shock hearing about your illness Mr. Patrick Swayze..You have and are a BIG fan of mine. There are two of your movies I love the most, “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost”, and I think many other fans would agree to this. I believe that you are a great fighter and you can beat this disease. Your proving this by going right back to work, and even without medications! That takes alot of gutts and power! I have the biggest faith in you right now and with your family. Take care and May God Bless you.-Wendy

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this trying time. I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2006. During the chemo period, I spent
many weeks in and out of the hospital due to pnemonia brought on by a lowered immune system. Keep yourself safe but continue to do what you love. Susan

Dear Mr. Swayze,
Since when did the message board of a celebrity gossip rag become a way to contact you with long, inane letters? I mean, if these people really cared, wouldn’t they be sending emails to your website or something? Anyway, Red Dawn rules.

God bless you patrick,
I was dianosed with rectal cancer two years ago and never for one moment thought I was going to die.
I recieved chemo for six months and it was one of the hardest thing I had to do beside dealing with my cancer..
Patrick for you to make a series while under going chemo is a good indication that you will beat your cancer.
Stay strong and my prayers you and your family
I remained positive in my thinking and God bless me with being cancer free for two years now.
GOD BLESS…you and yours

I hope for the best for you and Lisa, and I pray each day that you will get stronger and feel better. Your strength and your determination will go a long way..God bless you, Carol

I agree that the National Inquirer is only adding to the problem. It is a crying shame when someone is in the fight for their life and the National Inquirer does nothing to show thier support and appear to make things worse that it is. He should be applauded and recoginzed for fighting this every step of the way. Shame on you all!! I will NEVER purchase such a negative magazine such as yours!
Hann in there Patrick! YOU ARE A WINNER!

We all need to be thinking positive thoughts for Patrick. Negative thoughts are not what he needs at this time. Let the guy have some peace during his fight for life!

I just want to say that although I know Extra is tabloid television, I thought you had more class than to talk about a story that The National Inquirer has written with regard to Patrick Swayze. You are just as bad as everyone else. Just let the guy fight his battle in peace.
