Patrick Swayze has Cancer and We're Dreaming of Dirty Dancing
Nobody puts Baby in the corner...
It's hard to believe it's been 21 years since Swayze grabbed Jennifer Grey, dipped her backwards and danced his way into our hearts. And who can forget the way he trailed his fingers down her side with those naughty, bad-boy lips twitching into a smile?
I don't think I started to breathe again for a full minute.
Dirty DancingBut now this icon of the 80's is facing a lot more than stogy parents who can't see the beautiful woman their daughter has become.
According to the National Enquirer, Patrick Swayze is fighting pancreatic cancer, which is spreading rapidly through his body. Some sources say Swayze has only 5 weeks to live.
Patrick and wife Lisa Niemi (who are both pilots) have been making a lot of trips to Palo Alto's airport, minutes away from the Stanford Cancer Center.
Swayze's publicist released this statement: "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far," Swayze's physician, Dr. George Fisher said in the statement. "All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."
Swayze will always be hot in our books. And the Catskills of 1963 is a place we'll always happily travel to...
To help the cause, grab your coffee, your cubicle buddies and enjoy a replay of Swayze's famous dance with Jennifer Grey. As far as we're concerned, there can never be too many replays of this one!
