Swayze Plans to Act Through His Cancer

advertisement

Nobody puts Patrick Swayze in a corner, and it seems that cancer won't either.

The star of such hit films as "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" is going forward with plans to begin working on a new cable television series later this year despite being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March.

Cancer experts applaud his decision to continue working, saying that nothing he could do, physically, will speed the pace of cancer and that working could even benefit him mentally.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Mr. Swayze this one is for you:

Now I've had the time of my life

No I never felt like this before

Yes I swear it's the truth

And I owe it all to you

'Cause I've had the time of my life

And I owe it all to you

I've been waiting for so long

Now I've finally found someone

To stand by me

We saw the writing on the wall

As we felt this magical

Fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes

There's no way we could disguise it

Secretly

So we take each other's hand

'Cause we seem to understand

The urgency just remember

You're the one thing

I can't get enough of

So I'll tell you something

This could be love because

I've had the time of my life

No I never felt like this before

Yes I swear it's the truth

And I owe it all to you

With my body and soul

I want you more than you'll ever know

So we'll just let it go

Don't be afraid to lose control

Yes I know what's on your mind

When you say, "Stay with me tonight"

Just remember

You're the one thing

I can't get enough of

So I'll tell you something

This could be love because

I've had the time of my life

No I never felt like this before

Yes I swear it's the truth

And I owe it all to you

Now I [I]

Had the time of my life [ohhh]

No i never felt this way before [never felt this way]

It's the truth and i owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life

And i've searched through every open door

'Til I found the truth

And i owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life

No I never felt like this before

Yes I swear it's the truth

And I owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life

And I've searched through every open door

'Til I found the truth

And I owe it all to you

Good luck in your fight!

I have cancer, stage 4 colon cancer which spread to my lung and limp nodes, which has sickened me so I can not work. I miss working but given the reduced lifespan I have now I wouldn't want to spend my few remaining days working. I think he is trying to pretend he'll live a full life, or to put it in other words he is in denial about his mortality. I've never heard anyone who is dying say that they regret not working more! I worked 60 hours a week for a decade and I regret it now. That's just my opinion.
