The National Inquire reports that the beloved ‘Dirty Dancing’ star, Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, back in January. Unfortunately, the cancer spread to the rest of organs and the doctors have given him 5 weeks to live.

For the past month, Swayze, 55, has been traveling back and forth to Standford University’s prestigious Cancer Center in Palo Alto for chemotherapy. At this point, his doctors aren’t too optimistic that the treatments will be successful.

He has so far received three treatments of the chemotherapy, and his tumor shrank, but not enough for the doctors to be satisfied. He was thus told to prepare for the end.

“He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short - they held out little hope for a cure,” said an insider.

Within the past 2 weeks, Swayze has lost 20lbs and is restricted to a liquid diet because he has problems keeping his food down.

Poor guy. I hope that the National Inquire got this story wrong. How sad. Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst cancers there are. Normally no cure. I wish his family well during this hard time.
