Enquirer Claims Patrick Swayze Is Dying Of Pancreatic Cancer, Has Five Weeks To Live

The entire internet is abuzz with a rumor reported by The National Enquirer today regarding actor Patrick Swayze who has allegedly been given five weeks to live by his doctor. According to the magazine, Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January and has just learned that the disease is not responding to treatment. The actor has allegedly lost over 20 pounds in the past few weeks because he can no longer keep solids down.

The Chicago Sun-Times, however, reports that Perez Hilton begs to differ:

A “very good source” reportedly told celebrity blogger Perez Hilton that Swayze has seemed fine lately. “Patrick has been at rehearsals for a new cheerleading movie at Century City studio frequently lately, and he definitely does not look like he has five more weeks of life left. … I’m not sure of his medical condition, but if he is gravely ill, he is hiding it very well,” the source said.

Then again, Perez isn’t the most reliable source for these sorts of things.
