Patrick Swayze released a statement earlier this week to let us know that he is responding well to his cancer treatment.

Swayze said,

Thought I’d give you guys a little update. Lisa and I have been back and forth from New Mexico enjoying the arrival of spring and new baby calves. This past weekend, we spent a fun time with friends in Reno for Lisa’s birthday, where I took her shopping at Kenny G & Company and (we) were able to find her something really special and much deserved!

Patrick also stated that, “In the meantime, I am continuing treatment at Stanford and the great news is I continue to respond well.”

It is good to see that Patrick and Lisa are still enjoying themselves. Cancer treatment can really take its toll on a person and Swayze has shown us just how strong and determined he can be. He is not letting the cancer rule his life.
