Thread: Patrick Swayze 'says goodbye as cancer spreads'

That sucks

^ si.

Sure does.............

I dont get it why people with cancer dont cut it off. Seriously, if it is not brain cancer or heart cancer, actually those types of cancer we never hear about, why not cut it off the organ with cancer? Sure he would need machines to be alive but at least he would be alive.

Wow I just watched him in King Solomons Mines today on TV...

This is all speculation, but...
You'd have to find a doctor willing to do it.... "Do no harm" is their credo, so many docs simply won't put someone at that kind of risk. Upping their "mortality under the knife" stats isn't a high number any doc wants.

If the suspected outcome is inevitable, it's a lot of time and resources that could probably be better spent elsewhere.

That's all well and good, but it's not that simple. In the case of pancreatic cancer, they may have been able to cut it out. The problem for Patrick is that it sounds like the cancer has metastasized (warning: contains gross medical pictures). Basically, it means that the cancer has spread (and will continue to do so) throughout the body. When that happens, the clock starts ticking down.

Rip.....


Soon............

right, and Pancreatic cancer is one of those cancers that by the time its discovered the person has a very slim chance of living.

i promise you they do. my ex step mother made thousands doing exactly that. she said to me "you can choose to live thru medicine or you can choose to die with christian science".

I always thought Christian Science was something different.

well their dog had fleas n they wouldn't treat cuz the dog really didn't have fleas god made things perfect it was just my wrong thinking making me think the dog had fleas the dog couldn't have fleas cuz god wouldn't make anything imperfect. i told them the dogs not a christian scientist you are n the dog is miserable it's neglect bordering on abuse so you treat the dog or i'll do what i have to do n report it. they took her to a vet n i applied the medicine n the fleas that were never there ceased to bother the dog.

Swayze has been undergoing pioneering Cyberknife radiotherapy at California's Stamford University Medical Centre, and had been making a steady recovery from the illness.
Not sure if he is or isn't but that sounds like he said fuck prayer I want some real science....
One of my teachers was a Christian Science person, she didn't believe in healing everything with medicine but she said things that need outside help they can seek from a medical professional, she had eyeglasses and had gone to the hospital when her childbirth wasn't going right....they aren't Scientology freaks who really go loony for no medicine ever....sounds like your ex step mother took her beliefs too far....

But if he is going to die anyway, cut it. Even if it is metastasized like DOMS said.
If the doctors wont do it, DIY. Sure it is easy to say that when it is not you but it is better than death. I hope I never get cancer but if I did get cancer I would try everytype of medicine, any kind of alternative thing.

There would be no point. That it's metastasized means that the cancer cells have broken loose from the pancreas and have moved through the circulatory system and landed in other parts of the body. Cutting out the pancreas wouldn't slow the spread of cancer.

He'd be putting himself through a lot of pain and, in his current condition, severely cut short the time that he has left.

Can he be the next John Wayne and beat it?

Swayze denies 'deathbed' rumours



Swayze attended the Stand Up To Cancer event in September

Actor Patrick Swayze has denied US tabloid reports that he is close to death, calling allegations "shoddy and reckless reporting".

The 56-year-old star said reports that he is "on his last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family" were "lies and false information".

Swayze, who has been filming a US TV drama, said his pancreatic cancer was "a battle, but so far I'm winning".

He was diagnosed with the disease in March and had rigorous treatment.
In a statement to People magazine, the actor called newspaper stories "the only thorn in my side", and said he was home for the Christmas holidays after filming police series The Beast.

'Lucky few'

US tabloid The National Enquirer reported that Swayze's cancer had spread to his liver.

The Globe ran a photo of the Dirty Dancing star on its front page with the headline "Swayze Deathbed Secret!"

Some US newspapers initially reported that Swayze had weeks to live when his diagnosis became public in March.

But he returned to work and was able to complete 12-hour days due to his treatment programme.

Swayze said that he was one of the "lucky few" that responds to treatment for the illness.

But he added: "Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease and from the moment I was diagnosed, I knew I was in for the fight of my life."
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most virulent forms of cancer which medicals experts say has a 5% five-year survival rate.

12 hour work days, but he can barely stand unassisted? The math is whacked on that one.

That was probably shortly after the chemo, my step mom used to be really weak right after chemo then she'd slowly gain energy back.....
