Cancer-stricken Patrick Swayze to make TV comeback
June 10th, 2008 at 12:00 by David
It seems nothing can put Patrick Swayze in a corner.
Just a few months ago, the Dirty Dancing star had weeks to live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. But it was reported this week that 55-year-old Patrick Swayze is actually returning to work.
Yes, you heard that right: cancer-stricken Patrick Swayze is going to be back on your TV screens very soon. Next year, in fact.
It’s not the first time he has been linked with a return. Only a couple of weeks ago, there were rumours he was to star in a sequel of the highly-successful surfing movie Point Break.
But he quickly denied that that was the case, which, of course, we all expected. I mean, he has cancer, right!?
However, this week Patrick Swayze confirmed he will be returning to work - in the TV show The Beast - after the doctors confirmed he is fit to resume work.
Fit to resume work? Pretty incredible! I mean this is not a bout of the flu - he has an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer, for God’s sake!
Anyway, doctors say he has responded well to treatment - which involving a gruelling chemo sessions and drugs - and will be okay to begin filming in Chicago in the next few weeks and the series is set to air early next year on A&E in America.
He will play a hard-bitten FBI veteran, who ‘doesn’t play by the rules’ (whatever the rules are) asked to train up his rookie partner, who is also spying on him.
It’s a role Patrick Swayze admits he is relishing in statement which curiously did not mention his health.
“I can’t wait to get to work on this,” said Swayze, according to UK newspaper The Sun.
“I’ve searched for quite a long time to find a character so multi-layered, unpredictable and downright entertaining, as well as a project this current and cutting-edged.”
Patrick Swayze will continue to receive treatment at a hospital nearby.
“We’re thrilled to have Patrick on board,” said network boss Bob DiBitetto.
“We’ve had candid conversations with him and his doctors and we have a fairly high degree of expectation that Patrick will be good to work a full production schedule.”
“It’s amazing, it’s inspiring, and it’s almost unprecedented,” added Zack Van Amburg, co-president of Sony Pictures TV, who is to make The Beast.

Pancreatic cancer can go into remission for a lengthy period I believe. This is excellent news, good for Patrick!

I have found a cancer treatment that can find and destroy cancer in any part of the body without anesthetic, blood loss or any side effects and the person may resume activities the same day. Treatment lasts for only 5 days instead of months. sounds too good to be true, right! it’s FDA approved and is being used right now. Yes, it can treat pancreatic cancer with no problem. I am trying to get in touch with Patrick Swayze to inform him of this miracle. No, I am not really a fan. If you can help please let me know. Thanks——-Rick

a relative of mine is now cancer free, Drs. performed a ‘wimple” operation on him, then did a lot of chemotherapy and my relative has been pronounced cancer free.
There is also a diet that can reduce and finally eliminate cancer from the body- the Budwig diet can be found by googling Budwig protocol and clicking on http://www.cancertutor.com. It was developed by Johanna Budwig. The website states:
“Dr Budwig was born in Germany in 1908. She passed away in 2003 at the age of 95. She has been referred to as a top European Cancer Research Scientist, Biochemist, Blood Specialist, German Pharmacologist, and Physicist. Dr Budwig was a seven-time Nobel Prize nominee.
In Germany in 1952 she was the Central Government’s Senior Expert for fats and pharmaceutical drugs. She was considered one of the worlds leading authorities on fats and oils. Her research has shown the tremendous effects that commercially processed fats and oils have in destroying cell membranes and lowering the voltage in the cells of our bodies, which then result in chronic and terminal disease.”
She developed this diet and had great success freeing even the mortally ill (on their death beds) from the disease. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT, IT WORKS!
