You wouldn’t have thought so earlier today, when the National Enquirer’s story broke about Patrick Swayze not only having pancreatic cancer but, in fact, only five weeks left to live. But it sounded so damned dire that we just couldn’t bring ourselves to believe it…and now that we’ve read MSNBC’s report, we don’t believe it.
Well, not entirely, anyway.
Yeah, it’s pretty clear that Swayze does indeed have cancer – his representative, Annett Wolf, admitted as much – but the guy’s still got a pilot in contention for A&E, where he plays an unorthodox FBI agent (is there any other kind?), and everyone sounds optimistic about his chances.
Of course, it could just be a case where everyone’s downplaying the situation, which means that we could be reading his obituary next week. But we’re still rooting for the Swayz.
UPDATE: In a flurry of emotion, I have just joined the Facebook group, We Love You, Patrick Swayze. Don’t be afraid to follow suit yourself.
