Patrick Swayze Steps Up for His Close-Up

He's back. After weeks of intensive treatment for pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze has reentered the paparazzi spectre. The actor looked thin but surprisingly strong as he took in a Lakers playoff game with his wife, Lisa Niemi, and did some solo shopping.

Now he has opened up to People magazine about what life has been like since his diagnosis. "Thought I'd give you guys a little update," Swayze said in a statement. "Lisa and I have been back and forth from New Mexico enjoying the arrival of spring and new baby calves. We spent a fun time with friends in Reno for Lisa's birthday, where I took her jewelry shopping at Kenny G & Company and (we) were able to find her something really special and much deserved! In the meantime, I am continuing treatment at Stanford, and the great news is I continue to respond well."

Reports initially swarmed that the 55-year-old had only five weeks to live, but the die-hard dancer swears he is determined to battle his way back to good health.

Perhaps the prospect of a Point Break 2 is fueling his fire. Whatever the impetus, Hollywood is behind you, big man.

Quotables /
“Patrick Swayze had commented that he is responded well to the treatment for pancreatic cancer. Even though he is fully aware of his diagnosis for the potentially fatal disease, he has remained upbeat and optimistic. The actor had been treated at Stanford University Medical Center.

It is inspiring to see how Swayze has responded to his terrible situation. There is never anything funny that can be said about cancer, it is the most arbitary and cruel disease. Splash News feels Swayze is a credit to an acting community that at times is all too shallow.”

“At the beginning of March, reports were circulating that Patrick Swayze only had five weeks to live. Well, over two months later, and using the same pic, I'm happy to post that Patrick is putting cancer's ass in the corner.

Every once in a while, it's nice to take a break from flying nipples and butt pads to write about something positive. I mean, not that boobs aren't positive; let's not get carried away. But sometimes you gotta recognize when cancer gets freaking owned by Point Break himself. Also, I may or may not be recognizing by standing on my desk singing "The Time of My Life."”
