Patrick Swayze may have just two years to live
January 7th, 2009 - 2:01 pm ICT by ANILondon, Jan 07 (ANI): Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze, who is battling pancreatic cancer, has admitted that he might have only two years to live.
Swayze made the scary revelation following his 12 month long battle with late stage pancreatic cancer.
In his first television interview since being diagnosed with stage four cancer, the star of Dirty Dancing told American TV host Barbara Watlers he was “scared and angry” and had been “going through hell”.
Patrick revealed that although he is trying to be as active as possible with his ongoing work, he is often haunted by the bitter truth that he may be running out of time.
“I”d say five years is pretty wishful thinking, Times Online quoted Patrick, as telling Barbara.
Two years seems likely if you”re going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I”d better get a fire under it, he said.
He added: “There’’s a lot of fear here … Yeah, I”m scared. Yeah, I”m angry. Yeah, I”m (asking) why me?
However a determined Patrick, who seems to blessed with an incredible will power, revealed he is not built to give in to any given battle.
Am I dying? Am I giving up? Am I on my death bed? Am I saying goodbye to people? No way, Patrick said.
The interview, filmed for Walters” special, Patrick Swayze: The Truth, was shot on the ranch the actor shares with his wife Lisa Niemi in the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles. (ANI)
