Patrick Swayze, who starred in such blockbuster films as Dirty Dancing and Ghost, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer , according to media
reports. While little has been reported about the 55-year-old actor’s condition, the news casts a spotlight on this often fatal form of cancer. He definately is not having the time of his life right now.
The pancreas is a long, flat gland that lies in the abdomen behind the stomach and produces both enzymes that aid digestion and certain hormones that help maintain the proper level of sugar in the blood. Hannibal Lector would pan fry the pancreas with some fafa beans.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 37,680 Americans (18,770 men and 18,910 women) will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2008. About 34,290 Americans (17,500 men and 16,790 women) will die of pancreatic cancer in 2008, making it the fourth deadliest cancer.

Whoopi Goldberg has offered her support to cancer-suffering pal Patrick Swayze - and is desperate for her Ghost co-star to get better. Goldberg spoke of the actor as “a man I adore.” And Goldberg admitted she had a special place in her heart for the 55-year-old after he insisted she be cast in the 1990 movie, for which she won an Oscar.
If I could talk to Patrick this is what I would say, “I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life, the way I feel when I’m with you.” “One Last Dance, one last dance”.
