Patrick Swayze Responding Well To Cancer Treatment
April 8th, 2008
Following his announcement earlier this year that he is suffering pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze has said that he is responding positively to the treatment.
The ‘Dirty Dancing’ star and his wife, Lisa Niemi, discussed his illness with People.com saying, "We’re thrilled and grateful for the positive response Patrick has shown towards his treatment."
"Also, we can’t help but feel that all the prayers, meditations and good thoughts sent his way by everyone has made a difference," the couple explain. "Thank you!"
News of the 55-year-old’s diagnosis broke after US publication, The National Enquirer, ran a story citing ‘unnamed sources’ as saying he had pancreatic cancer.
Dr. George Fisher, Swayze’s physician, adds that, "Because of his excellent response, he will continue the same therapy at Stanford."
