Guest Drabux Posted January 1, 2009 many of us Yanks are calling bullshit on this one. Let's wake up from this denial and face the facts. I would give Patrick Swayze six weeks to live. I hope he survives until New Years but I can vision his death arriving in mid December. The disease he is battling was diagnosed last January so the probability of him living much longer is is highly unlikely. It's almost unrealistic. And Steve Jobs had a very unusual procedure done which ultimately saved his life. Swayze isn't as fortunate. If one of the mods could attatch a "Will Patrick Swayze survive until 2009 poll) it might be interesting to see the results. Well, he's made 2009 and clearly done the 'dirty' on a few of us but, the cancer has to do its magic soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grobler 35 Posted January 1, 2009 Watching the tele last night in a drunken stupor , I came across "100 Greatest love scenes" (or something like that anyway....) Number 1 was Patrick in Ghost when he fondles loads of clay....number 4 (ish) was Patrick when he teaches whatsherface to dance in Dirty Dancing . THIS WAS ALL ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO!!! Go Patrick.....many years left yet with your top off I reckon..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarolAnn 926 Posted January 1, 2009 For what it's worth, Barbara Walters is having a special on the 7th called "Patrick Swayze: The Truth." No idea when it was recorded, but my brief research indicates maybe early December. Take it as you will. He definitely shows the mileage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,360 Posted January 6, 2009 Patrick Swayze's ‘hideous’ chemotherapy hasn't worked. He is now been administered an experimental drug called Vatalanib, which is being tested on patients who have failed to respond to other treatments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 6, 2009 Patrick Swayze's ‘hideous’ chemotherapy hasn't worked. He is now been administered an experimental drug called Vatalanib, which is being tested on patients who have failed to respond to other treatments. Wikipedia claims Vatalanib has some very negative side effects just as most drugs do. Swayze has kept a very optimistic mindset on his future but it will halt sooner or later. I don't think he'll see the summer of 2009. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,538 Posted January 7, 2009 Similar account of the same story here, framed around his estimation that he has two years left. He's being a bit optimistic with those 2 years. very few have beaten pancreatic cancer and lasted that long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,538 Posted January 7, 2009 Just heard a bit of the interview with Barbara Walters. You can hear it in his voice how scared he is. However he seems determined to carry on as much as he can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Miser 18 Posted January 10, 2009 He has pneumonia. http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/01/69534/ This doesn't bode well for any 2 year predictions. Plus whenever DDT posts about someone they seem to cork it in the next 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eejit 9 Posted January 10, 2009 Looks like he's entering endgame now all right. You have to wonder if God will checkmate before Swayze's new show airs on the 15th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted January 10, 2009 I think he's f**ked. A swathe of Swayze points are about to be scored, I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,206 Posted January 10, 2009 If he could hang on until... ooh about Wednesday, or ideally, longer that would be ideal. But I must admit when I read DDT's post.. "He's doomed." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 10, 2009 If he could hang on until... ooh about Wednesday, or ideally, longer that would be ideal. But I must admit when I read DDT's post.. "He's doomed." I think Wednesday might be more realistic but I would bid on a few months. Then again, Death doesn't make reservations - it just arrives. I feel as if Patrick Swayze should earn more time to borrow but his chances are looking slim. Maybe someday they'll find Pancreatic Cancer's worst nightmare.

deadtowrites 2 Posted January 10, 2009 Man-flu. It's always the bloody same. Probably a marketing ploy to get sympathy viewers for his new piece of "acting". He has pneumonia. http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/01/69534/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCAlum2000 42 Posted January 11, 2009 Patrick Swayze continues to defy the odds. This dude has pancreatic cancer, damaged lungs, and pnuemonia. But he is still fighting. He might just survive this -- might to the chagrin and disappointment of us deathpoolers (yes, me included). Yet at the same time ... I can't help but smile at Patrick Swayze. Smile b/c he is an amazing man. He's not the greatest actor in the world and he's made a lot of crappy movies, but I have to smile b/c he is a true fighter. I smile b/c I admire his spirit.
