It's the first televised interview with Swayze since he revealed his battle with pancreatic cancer last January. Swayze talks about his decision to star in A&E's 'TV series 'The Beast' even with his diagnosis and his anger at the tabloids that give what he calls false updates on his medical condition.

JMJMosley 10:34 PMJan 06 2009 In November of 1984 I had a bout with colon cancer. After having 8 inches of my transverse colon removed I was back at work in 7 weeks and I drove a truck for a living. Now almost 25 years later I am still going strong.I get a check up every year and I feel great. My biggest wish is to see a cure for this horrible disease before I die. I wish Swayze all the luck in the world. But being from Houston, he should know that we have one of the finest cancer hospitals in thw world here.M.D.Anderson Cancer Center. They have the best cancer treatment in the world. I know from experience.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXyou want cure? stop eating red meat, more veggies and fruit, and no junk food. try a vegan or macrobiotic diet! that's the cure for you. there's no magic pill, u gotta do the work yourself and stop putting junk in your body

My husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December, 2004...and he is alive and well. Currently, there is NO chemotherapy that does bupkus for this type of cancer, and my husband chose not to have it (nor radiation). He takes HUGE quantities of pancreatic enzymes every day - along with many, many vitamins and supplements - and eats organic,; no meat, alcohol, soda, caffeine...and there is much more he must do. It is rigorous, but he is so very healthy thanks to an MD who combines traditional with "alternative" medicine.He has scans, blood work, and cutting-edge hair analysis, so we know how healthy he is.Ten years ago, I'd have said VOODOO!!! DON"T DO THIS!!! Pancreatic cancer is NOT an automatic death sentence, as we've learned...but those stricken will not get well using conventional treatment.

Medicine has come a long way with Pancreatic Cancer. You can be cured - I have first-hand knowledge of this as a dear friend just underwent treatment. It is a long and pain-staking procedure but my friend came thru it with flying colors and hopefully others can do it.

If Mr. "I am a dancer" is so pissed about false updates on his medical condition, then why doesn't he level with people and give them the true update. It's a shame, but everyone knows you don't survive pancreatic cancer. Everyone wants top play "games".

please consult a Naturopathic Doctor who is graduated from a respectable college. One with a background and solid work experience who can give you plenty of referrals from client's that have healed from devastating cancers. There is a cure, no doubt, there is, I will not go into details. You need to do the research on your own and find the right Doctor. If you do, you will live,. period.

pancreatic cancer is unpredictable....I had a cousin who passed within nine months of her diagnosis, and a friend who's been fighting the disease for 5 yrs. now...he's 6'6", and was a muscular 325 pounds when diagnosed...now we call him the white ethiopian..he weighs 135 pounds now. pancreatic cancer is the worst!

Patrick Swayze was nice enough to let everyone know he had cancer. He did not have to say anything publicly to anyone. Now I see just why stars do keep big health problems a secret. Let the man alone to fight his battle. God Bless You Patrick.
