What kind of imbicile would start such a rumor. That is horrible! A thousand lashes with a wet noodle for that one.
Interesting that he once played a ghost. I wonder if he thought karma played a trick on him when he heard about it.
no, but he will within the month. patrick swayze and my wife were diagnosed the same week, same year; my wife just passed two weeks ago; their treatments were almost identical….dr tom
This is unfortunate and I wish patrick the best…He is always going to be one of the most headstrong actors out there,peace. Keep your head up.
as a survivor of colon cancer for the last 19 years. a positive mind and the love of the people who are always by your side. Miracles do happen, and I am living proof. Good luck to Patrick and his family.
Patrick,
You are and have been such an inspiration to me. I think you are a wonderful person and we all have been blessed to know you even if it is not personally. God bless you during this journey. Miracles do happen! I love how you and your wife stick together in love. My husband and are can relate.
