Patrick Swayze - Winning Fight Against Cancer

I just loved Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing" and loved the music especially. I was very sad to hear he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Now he is angry about tabloid reports that say he doesn't have long to live. The actor, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year, issued a statement affirming that so far he is winning his fight against the disease and responding well to treatment. I really hope that is true as he is too young and talented to die young.

Swayze says they are reporting that he is on his last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family. That is very upsetting that the shoddy and reckless reporting from these publications cast a negative shadow on the positive and good fight he is fighting. He stars in the upcoming A & E series "The Beast" and says such coverage is tantamount to emotional cruelty and it angers him when hope is so precious. We wish him all the best and hope a cure in is sight.

Pavarotti, Opera Legend, Dies

The condition of Luciano Pavarotti's health worsened and he died of a very serious condition, according to Italian media. Pavarotti, who was 71, has been suffering from pancreatic cancer and was released from the hospital on August 25, after a series of tests were carried out. He was being treated at home in the northern city of Modena surrounded by family and friends. He had surgery for the cancer in July 2006 in New York and has not made an public appearances since then. The whole world mourns his passing.
