Patrick Swayze sets the record straight
After many tabloids spread the rumor late last week that Patrick Swayze’s cancer was generalized and that he couldn’t walk anymore, the 56 year old actor felt the need to set the record straight on his condition by giving an exclusive interview to People magazine:
“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.
It’s upsetting that the shoddy and reckless reporting from these publications cast a negative shadow on the positive and good fight I’m fighting. For me, my family, and those close to me, it amounts to downright emotional cruelty. That makes me angry when hope is so precious.”
He also points out that if he left the set of The Beast, on which he’s currently working, it’s not because he can’t walk anymore, but because it was the holidays. As in Thanksgiving.
And he’s obviously thanking his fans for their love and support. The bottom line of what he’s saying is: “don’t believe the hype”.
