When we found out that Patrick Swayze had pancreatic cancer, we thought, “oh no, he won’t be around long.” We thought this because we know the statistics for surviving pancreatic cancer are not good, only thirteen percent. This is not to say that Swayze cannot survive this cancer. He was a healthy, fit, person, who took good care of himself before this diagnosis. Swayze does not fit the mold of a pancreatic cancer patient. Most of these patients are in their 60’s and 70’s, and are usually heavy drinkers, heavy smokers with poor diets that include lots of fats. As far as we know Patrick Swayze did not do any of these things.

There is a new treatment that Swayze is reportedly trying. It is used on inoperable cancers, and reportedly has had success on patients with the same cancer as his. This procedure is called the Cyberknife. This procedure targets the hard to reach tumors with super high amounts of radiation. As you undergo these Cyberknife procedures, you have to be awake and alert and you cannot move. These treatments are known to add years to lives. Patrick is fighting a hard battle, but his doctors are very hopeful.

In other Patrick Swayze news, Radar Online is reporting that the actor was recently seen making a fast food run with his brother.  Though still very skinny, Swayze looked to be healtheir and even sported a Goatee.
