Dirty Dancing star,
Patrick Swayze, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year. Though he's outlived his early bleak prognosis, Swayze refuses to give up. Patrick realizes his days are running out but hopes he has at least two years left and is hoping that doctors will find a cure in that time frame.
Just months after receiving a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze has been cleared to go back to work. The actor's drama pilot, The Beast, has just
been picked up by A&E, and he'll resume work on the show this Summer in Chicago.
Swayze shot the pilot back in January, and according to the New York Times, A&E was
a day away from announcing they were going forward with the show when Swayze called the network to deliver the news of his diagnosis.
