Rumours have started to appear that Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze has terminal cancer and has been given five weeks to live.

A National Enquirer report claims that Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January and that it has now spread to other organs. Despite regular chemotherapy sessions, doctors aren’t apparently confident of treating the cancer successfully.

According the National Enquirer:

Patrick and his wife Lisa Niemi — who both have pilot’s licenses — have been flying their private Beechcraft plane into Palo Alto’s airport, minutes away from the Stanford Cancer Center, where the actor has received outpatient treatment. He 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.

If this report is true – and it seems a little too specific for it not to be, then Patrick Swayze is now on a liquid-only diet because he can no longer keep solid food down. Horrible news.
