Patrick Swayze kicking pneumonia’s ass

January 13th, 2009 // 47 Comments

Patrick Swayze has enough on his plate battling pancreatic cancer, but he hit a bump last week when he was hospitalized with pneumonia. Given only a few weeks to live at the beginning of last year, the amazingly resilient Swayze wasn’t about to let some bitchass pneumonia take him out. Us Magazine reports:

Cancer-stricken actor Patrick Swayze, who was hospitalized Friday for pneumonia, is “doing fine,” his mother, Patsy Swayze, told Usmagazine.com on Monday. “He sounds really upbeat and positive.”

I’m pretty sure scientists are studying Patrick Swayze’s blood right now and are moments away from discovering “Wait, this man’s not from earth. He was sent here as a baby from the planet Krypton!” Then Patrick Swayze will fly into my house, and we’ll go beat up all the kids who made fun of me in school. I told them this day would come. Muhahaha!

    That’s sad. He’s not going to last much longer. No one does when the families state “he’s doing fine”…

    Looks like he’s focused most of his prayers on having his hair spared during the chemo.

    He’s the same height as Barbara Walters.

    I thought you’d be bigger.

    Patrick did a hillarious Chippendales skit with Chris Farley on Saturday Night Live. I hope Patrick recovers.

    Way to go Patrick!!!! Kick butt!!! I am praying for you!!!

    BTW for the smoking comments….my cousin who was female, 45, never smoked or drank alcohol and worked out 5 days a week died of Pancreatic Cancer within 6 months so let’s not blame everything on smoking. Cancer has no boundaries.

    Road House is the finest film that has ever existed or that will ever exist. It should win every Oscar from here to eternity. Don’t believe me? Sit down with a handle of Jim Beam and see if you make it to the end of both (movie and handle) at the same time.

    Nope, didn’t think so.

    Patrick Swayze is going to put cancer’s face through a table.

    I watched Roadhouse on the weekend and it continues to kick ass. Best wishes Patrick. Be nice. Until it’s time to not be nice. < How will I know when it's time. >

    You won’t. I’ll let you know.

    Hell yeah!

    #13 — If you look at it logically and from an artistic standpoint, yeah, Dirty Dancing sucks, but even so I can’t help but watch it whenever it’s on and kind of fall in love with Patrick every time I see it. Same thing for Ghost (except I don’t watch it — I have some standards and Demi is just so annoying).

    The Chippendale’s skit, however, was and remains art of the highest quality.

    I like that Patrick and his wife are still together, that she is aging appropriately, that he is still working and that he’s fighting the bitch that cancer is. I hope he beats it.

    Don’t diss on Patrick Swayze… He could probably still kick all your asses.. I am a movie critic and I still love road house.. Some of the best lines ever in cinema.

    Doc: “Do you ever win a fight?”
    Dalton: “Nobody ever wins a fight.”

    Hope he stays with us a lot longer.. Swayze rules!!

    I seriously love Patrick and hope he gets better soon. Roadhouse was awesome of course, but don’t forget Ghost, The Outsiders, Dirty Dancing, and all the other great work in this fine actor’s career.

    I have so much respect for this man who is battling the toughest fight of his life. He is fighting it with every fiber in his body. I think most people who don’t last with this disease are so distraught they give up. Not everyone has his spirit about life. The fact he didn’t fall prey to the pitfalls of Hollywood, has a 33 year marriage and so much love for each other. He is the real deal whether you like his movies or not. I loved Dirty Dancing because I love to watch dancing anyway. Ghost he was fabulous. When you see his new series think what it took of him to do these and for all you negative do nothing experts who probably have no accomplishments in their lives…Keep your rude comments to yourself.
