Patrick&#39;s physician Dr. George Fisher states, &#39;<strong>Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic</strong>.&#39; Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family.&quot;</p> <p>Oh I so hope he&#39;s not on his deathbed - I&#39;ve always loved me some <em>Johnny and Baby</em> dance moves.</p> <p><a class="" href="http://perezhilton.com/2008-03-05-the-official-statement-3" target="_blank"><em>Source</em></a><em>,</em><a class="" href="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/8/b/1/highres_1239089.jpeg" target="_blank"><em>source</em></a></p> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>Related Posts:</strong></font></p> <p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2008/03/05/patrick-swayze-s-dream-of-parenthood.aspx"><font color="#142836">Patrick Swayze&#39;s Dream Of Parenthood</font></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2008/03/05/patrick-swayze-has-five-weeks-to-live.aspx"><font color="#142836">Patrick Swayze Has Five Weeks To Live</font></a></p><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=76128" width="1" height="1">cancerdyingsports talkcelebrities are nothing like usdancefamousgooglestars are nothing like usdirty dancingcancer researchsassy smithpatrick swayzepatrick swayze dyingchemotherapyterminal cancerfive weeks to liveswayzepatrick swayze terminal cancerpatrick not dyingpop culture icon
