Patrick Swayze....

...was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. For those who do not know him [where have you been?] he starred in "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost". Those are just two of his more famous movies. He did a lot of movies aside from those two and have been in broadway shows as well.

The National Enquirer first broke the news but erroneously reported that he only had weeks to live according to his doctor. Here's what his doctor had to say to People.com.

"Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far," Dr. George Fisher says in a statement. "All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."
