Patrick Swayze Cancer Has Reportedly Spread

Patrick Swayze, who was told he had pancreatic cancer this past January, has reportedly taken a turn for the worse and started saying goodbye to loved ones after learning his cancer has spread.

A source told National Enquirer magazine:

“Patrick recently got word that the cancer had spread to his liver and that is what his doctors said would begin the countdown to the end. Patrick knew it was coming because he was suffering increased weakness. “At times, he was so weak that he could barely walk without feeling faint. Sometimes he feels out of breath and has to sit down.”

Swayze, 56, told Lisa, his wife of 33 years, and his brother Donny that he doesn’t have long to live.

“Lisa phoned Donny in Los Angeles and told him he need to come to Chicago, where Patrick has been filming TV show The Beast. She was crying and scared Donny to death.

“Donny got the impression his brother was already on his deathbed because Lisa was saying Patrick wanted to say goodbye. She couldn’t stop crying.”

Swayze has been undergoing pioneering Cyberknife radiotherapy at California’s Stamford University Medical Centre, and had been making a steady recovery from the illness.

Swayze recently finished filming The Beast in Chicago, where he was putting in 12-hour days.

In October, his production team reported he had missed only a day and a half of work.

He told The New York Times:

“I’m still fine to work, I haven’t changed – oh, I have changed, what am I saying? It’s a battle zone I go through. Chemo, no matter how you cut it, is hell on wheels.”
