Posted on 05 May 2008 by Loretta

Despite the optimistic reports last month from Patrick Swayze’s doctors and family the beloved actor is preparing for the end.

A source close to the family stated that,

Patrick told Lisa, ‘I will always love you, and can’t imagine how my life would have been without you.’ It was very touching, and it’s part of his final farewell to his wife as the end draws closer.

Recent report suggest that Patrick has already started to transfer his millions of dollars worth of property to his wife Lisa. A friend of the Swayze family told the Sunday paper that,

Patrick told his family he’s not giving up, but he wanted to make sure everything like the will was in place in the event that his health began to fail quickly and he didn’t have time to take care of things.

Patrick was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January and has been undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments. Last month the doctors reported that his progress was “excellent” and that he was responding well to the treatments. This month however, they are reporting that the cancer has spread and that he had to have part of his stomach removed.

I know that weight loss was a big concern at the beginning of his battle and if you compare the pictures from January to recent photos you can tell that he has definitely lost some weight and is very pale. Although it looks like he is losing the battle with cancer his family and his fans remain optimistic.

I became a fan of Patrick Swayze when I first saw him in  Dirty Dancing and I have loved every Swayze film since then. He is such a great actor and  I still have high hopes that he will be one of the miracle cases that survives pancreatic cancer.

    I wish you well. My Dad was also diagnosed in January, he had alot of complications and unfortunately died in March. It is a horrible illness; my Dad suffered alot of pain. I really hope more progress can be made in THE EXPLORATION, EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT of this despicable disease.

    Good luck, thinking of you!

    I lost my mom to cancer in 2005. Seeing someone go from so strong to having to have help to raise their head from the pillow is one of the hardest things you will EVER have to go through. I hope that Patrick is simply covering his bases and will recover.

    That being said, it’s also sad that the media is still following him when he is ill. It’s one thing to have to go through cancer but to have to do it publicly is just disgusting. This is one of those times where I wish the media would just stay out of someones personal life.

    This is so sad.:( Cancer is awful, who wants to be followed by media at such a difficult time. If he wants to address the public he should be able to do it on his terms not the medias. Hopefully he can overcome this and be healthy again.

    It is sad that the media is following him, but once you enter Hollywood you basically sign away your personal life. On the other hands he has millions of people supporting him and praying for his recovery, some cancer patients have no support at all.
