I assume that means 25% make it to 2-4 years.
I put Patrick in the 25% range.

Update from the National Enquirer.

Shock photos of cancer-stricken star Patrick Swayze published in National Enquirer

April 09, 2009 10:22am
CONFRONTING new pictures of Patrick Swayze have been published by a US tabloid which claims the cancer-stricken actor now weighs just 47.6 kilos.

The National Enquirer splashed the photographs in its current edition as the world follows Swayze's brave battle against pancreatic cancer.

Despite his alarming weight loss, the actor is reportedly in "good spirits" and taking his battle "one day at a time".

Friend and fellow Hollywood star Whoopi Goldberg revealed on British TV this week that Swayze, who she starred with in 1990 film Ghost, doesn't have an "expiration date on his backside".

"You know what, he's doing what everybody else is doing, he's taking it one day at a time," she said.

"He does not have an expiration date on his backside - none of us do - we just know at some point it's going to happen and that's how he's looking at it. "

In January this year the Dirty Dancing star spoke of his fear as he battles pancreatic cancer.

"Yeah, I'm scared. Yeah, I'm angry. Yeah, I'm (asking), 'Why me?,"' he told American TV's Barbara Walters in an interview.

"You can bet that I'm going through hell, and I've only seen the beginning of it."

Yup... The big C took my dad a few yeas ago, my mum's had it twice & now we've just found out that my mum's sister's husband has his back & it's in his face too. It sucks alright...

Is he dead yet (Swayze, not Ate!)?

Not always easy to tell...

That was the longest Five Weeks ever!

Maybe they meant dog weeks?

Well, Can_I_Poke_U, it seems five weeks was too long for Emma.

So, because:


Somewhere, out there on the intertubes, Emma is no doubt cracking open a bottle of Spumante (Champagne would be to crass) to celebrate the occasion; and until you know what it is like to be born an orphan, you have no right to criticise Emma.

People with Cancer, however, are fair game; just don't say nothin' 'bout orphans!

I am sure that Patrick Swayze's family are pleased that the media got it (five weeks) wrong: Hopefully, this gave them time to prepare themselves for the inevitable.

Don't get me wrong; I think that Patrick Swayze was not a very good actor, but I figure his family loved him just the same.

Red Dawn is on 7HD tonight at 8:30pm.

Cheesy? Yes, some of it is: But, I will be recording it tonight.
I will even have to miss Felicity Ward's appearance on the "The Squiz", in order to record Red Dawn.

(I hope to download the Squiz from SBS later on.)
