Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and might have only five weeks to live, so his doctors tell him.

Patrick Swayze, best known for his role in Dirty Dancing, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told that he has just five weeks to live.

Swayze, 55, has been sick with the disease since he was diagnosed in
late January with pancreatic cancer. The cancer has since spread to
other organs and now the actor/dancer is dying.

For the past month, Swayze has been traveling to Stanford
University’s prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical
chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the
treatments will be successful, according to the National Enquirer.

Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze has five weeks to live, according to a shocking new report from the US.

The actor, 55, was reportedly diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs.

For the past month, the actor and dancer has been traveling to
Stanford University’s prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for
radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the
treatments will be successful, according to the National Enquirer.

Patrick and wife Lisa Niemi — who are both qualified pilots — have
been flying their private Beechcraft plane into Palo Alto’s airport,
minutes away from the Stanford Cancer Center, where Swayze — who has
starred in films such as, Road House, Father Hood & Donnie Darko,
has received outpatient treatment.

Swayze — who has previously attended a clinic to overcome alcoholism
after his sister Vicky died from an overdose of painkillers in 1994 —
received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less
than his doctors had hoped for — and Patrick was told he should prepare
for the end.

“He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was
not responding. In short – they held out little hope for a cure,” said
an insider.

No word yet as to how Swayze is taking the news of the cancer:

Shocking reports that actor Patrick Swayze has been battling pancreatic
cancer since January and has only five weeks to live surfaced this

The National Enquirer has reported a number of seemingly false stories
over the years and we sincerely hope that this is another.
