Swayze confined to wheelchair
August 27th, 2009 - 12:56 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Aug 27 (IANS) Actor Patrick Swayze, who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, was confined to a wheelchair as he left hospital following his ongoing treatment.
Dailymail.co.uk reports that the 57-year-old looked weak and frail as he was taken in a wheelchair to a car by the medical staff. The “Dirty Dancing” star once again hid his head under a cowboy hat, while tubes connected to drips and catheter bags could be seen coming out of his clothing.
Swayze earlier this month spent a week in Beverly Hills seeking treatment. Since he was diagnosed with cancer he has been shuttling from his ranch in the state of New Mexico and his home in Los Angeles.
He has been supported by his wife Lisa and brother throughout the treatment.
