Report: Patrick Swayze Gets Support From Hollywood Friends in Cancer Battle

Film Industry have been sending histrion Saint Patrick Swayze messages of support ever since news broke that Swayze was fighting a tough conflict with pancreatic cancer, Britain's Telegraph newspaper is reporting.

"It is so sad," Swayze's "Dirty Dancing" co-star, Jennifer Grey, said, according to the Telegraph. "If I saw him on the streets today, I'd throw my weaponry around him and love him up." The Telegraph said Whoopi Goldberg, who starred with Swayze in "Ghost," had this to state before blowing a kiss: "We desire you to experience better and we will speak soon, I hope."

The National Inquirer broke the news of Swayze's malignant neoplastic disease on Wednesday, and a representative of the histrion late confirmed the diagnosing but said docs are optimistic about his treatment for the typically fatal disease.

Caught in its advanced stages, pancreatic cancer, which hits about 30,000 people a year, have a less than 5 percentage endurance charge per unit for five years. If caught early and treated aggressively with surgery and chemotherapy — and if the malignant neoplastic disease have not distribute to lymph nodes — the five-year survival charge per unit can travel as high as 17 to 25 percent.
