Every girl who has seen Dirty Dancing has fallen in love with Johnny Castle and the actor who played him. The way he moves, speaks, and not to mention his beautiful looks. But this news does not have the star dancing. Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which was confirmed by his rep on Wednesday. This is heartbreaking news especially since Swayze has never been extremely ill. The National Enquirer that broke the story said that the actor has five weeks to live. That however is not the case. "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment so far," Dr. George Fisher, Swayze's personal doctor, said in a statement. "All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue." Still, pancreatic cancer is the deadliest form and less than 5% of its patients live over five years after their diagnosis. Hopefully, Swayze will break that pattern. Everyone wished him well and is pulling for him. Personally, I love Swayze. Once I saw Dirty Dancing he became one of my favorites. I really hope his treatment works. Swayze has been in many great films including Ghost which costarred Whoopi Goldberg, Point Break and the movie that changed his career Dirty Dancing. He is scheduled to continue working through his treatment.
