First we hear of Roadhouse star Jeff Healey passed away because of cancer, and now tragically the head Cooler himself, Patrick Swayze is reported to be suffering from Cancer as well.
The “Dirty Dancing” actor has a very limited amount of disease and appears to be responding well to treatment, according to Dr. George Fisher, Swayze’s physician. Fisher’s prognosis was included in a statement released Wednesday by Swayze’s representative, Annett Wolf.
In this day and age with all the advances of medicine and treatment this “limited amount” of cancer may turn out to be nothing.
Cancer hits so many so close to home that we are almost numb to the word. But Patrick Swayze is nearly revered in the TMB inner circle and even when he was playing a cross dressing Vida Boheme I still think he had more guts than any other manly man in Hollywood.
I wish you all the best Patrick. You have kicked a lot of ass, so keep kicking and get well soon.
