Swayze Slams Health Rumors

Patrick Swayze lashes out at recent tabloid reports that he’s close to death in an interview with “People.” The actor, who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, states:

“I’m very proud of the work I’ve done on my new series ‘The Beast,’ and I am happy to be back home for the holidays. It’s a great feeling of accomplishment to say you’re gonna do something and do it. The only thorn in my side being that many tabloids have been consistently reporting lies and false information about me and those close to me. And latest, they’re reporting that I’m on my last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family!

“Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease and from the moment I was diagnosed, I knew I was in for the fight of my life. It’s a battle, and so far, I’ve been winning. I’m one of the lucky few that responds well to treatment.”

In the end, Swayze may not win this one, but he’s certainly putting up a fight.
