Patrick Swayze Diagnosed with Cancer.

So Sorry to hear this news.I feel for him.
Hope that he get a full recovery there.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Patrick Swayze, the dancer and star of such hit films as "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost," has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, published reports said on Wednesday.





Swayze, 55, was diagnosed with cancer more than a month ago, the New York Post reported on its Web site, citing a representative for the actor.

The Post story follows similar reports in the tabloid press. Swayze's spokeswoman declined to comment to Reuters. No further details were available.

Swayze, 55, is best known for his role as dance instructor Johnny Castle opposite Jennifer Grey's character, infatuated teenager Frances "Baby" Houseman, in the 1987 movie musical "Dirty Dancing."

The film, which centers on an unlikely romance between the pair at a 1960s resort in the Catskills of New York, defied expectations to become a massive hit, earning both actors Golden Globe Award nominations.

Swayze performed the song "She's Like the Wind" for the movie's soundtrack and his signature line, "Nobody puts Baby in the corner," has become a pop culture staple

"Dirty Dancing," which also featured the Oscar-winning song "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" -- remains widely popular two decades later and is replayed almost constantly on TV in the United States.

Swayze went on to star alongside Demi Moore in the 1990 tear-jerker romance "Ghost," which also became a huge box office hit and was nominated for an Academy Award for best picture.

The Texas-born Swayze, whose dancer-choreographer mother owned a Houston ballet studio, began performing at an early age and got his start in show business as a dancer and on the stage before landing film and TV roles in Hollywood.

I see they are trying to put a positive spin on this, but what I hear once they find it it's nearly incurable

It is so sad and I still love to watch dirty dancing when it is on.

Oh that is sad... He is so young! This cancer thing is just so out of control, I wish all of the research would pay off. I have a funny story about Patrick, my sister Moses looks a lot like him at times when she wakes up in the morning and so I tease her about it often. She is a hyper type of girl so when she is wound up I will say "Geeze Moses your getting all Swayze with it!" So we think about him an awful lot. I hope he will be ok!

I'm so upset! He was definitely one of my favorites. I can watch "Dirty Dancing" over and over.
