The Official Statement
Filed under: Patrick Swayze

"Actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Patrick's physician Dr. George Fisher states, 'Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.' Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."

That's what got Pavarotti a few weeks ago.

"Median survival from diagnosis is around 3 to 6 months; 5-year survival is much less than 5%"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_cancer

... compared with (smoker's) lung cancer, which is about 10%.

Pancreatic is one of the really nasty ones. Tough luck.

The other news services are saying the diagnosis isn't quite as grave.

[SpursWoman]

I certainly hope it's not as grave ...

Boutons you are dead on. This type of cancer is one of the most incurable cancers around. I read somewhere that they are utilizing new technology using some type of light that can be helpful in detecting it before it's too late.
