1. Oh, that's sad.

I hope he'll be okay. He's too young to go. My daughters, who all loved "Dirty Dancing," will be devastated.

4. Naional Enquirer isn't a very reliable source, imo. n/t

[Warpy]

8. It's been confirmed by his publicist

and the news has made it to the MSM.

It's not a good diagnosis. I think the only part the Enquirer might have gotten wrong is the timeline. Docs usually aren't that specific.

5. Well. Keith Richard is still around...

and so is the Dalai Lama...

Life goes on...

Too bad for Swayze, tho...

(at least, I think that's how you spell his name).

7. statement to TmZ

"Patrick's physician Dr. George Fisher states, 'Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.' Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."
