According to YAHOO News Patrick has now refused to take his medication for his cancer now after Dr's said there was nothing else they could do for him. Its basicly now sadly a matter of time.

What would YOU do with your time left on earth?

The same thing.

My mother died of Pancreatic Cancer, the same kind Patrick Swazye has. In her case, the doctors just told her up front that she was a goner and that there was nothing they could do. She had 6 weeks between diagnosis and death.

I will tell you this....it's a hard way to die. Three of those six weeks were bad. The last week was downright unbelieveable.

Hard to say what one would do until you find yourself in that position.

And just because somebody thought I didn't enjoy it enough when my mother died of cancer, five years later, they gave me a walk down memory lane when my father died of lung cancer.

It is a hell of a disease. Something 1 in 2 of us will face in our lifetime and probably die from.

Take time off, have a good time, hobby, try to do things that I didn't do before if I can, and spend time with family and friends, not necessarily in that order.

Key words.

By the time you get the point where they stop treatment, just going to bathroom is a good time.
 
Swazye was and still is a cigarette smoker

Hard to feel for a rich boy who had it all smoke himself to death

children starving and he spends enough money on smokes to save several children then dies a painful death as a result

Same as what Pat Burns is doing.

Really? Did you read that somewhere. He has colon cancer metastisized in his lungs doesn't he.

I thought they just spotted it again.

Thats a kinda hard-boiled.
Rich or not, smoker or non-smoker, what he & his family are dealing with is pretty gruesome & scary.

No doubt he has reflected on his smoking habit & probably has a regret or two. More than likely this haunts him

Can we assume you have lead a ultra pure lifestyle which would not be subject to any criticism on your death bed?

isnt that the truth

a ''right'' you should have to euthanasia at times of extreme pain and suffering

Very cold, especially since smoking and pancreatic cancer are not causally linked.
 
I've read that Mr. Swayze is finalizing his last will & testament, as well as his funeral arrangements.
He has reportedly stated that, at his funeral, his "Dirty Dancing" co-star, Jennifer Grey, is NOT to be seated in the corner!!!!

Jokes aside, he seemed like a decent man, and nobody, under any circumstances, deserves to get cancer.

that's cold man. how do we know if his smoking contributed to his cancer? many people get cancer and they've never smoked. no one deserves to get cancer.

same here. my mom died of pancreatic cancer in her late 50's. however, she lasted about 8 months from diagnosis. it was heartbreaking to see her wither away, nothing I could do. the worst part was not actually the physical toll, but the mental anguish she suffered knowing she wasn't going to see and enjoy her retirement years. it brings tears to my eyes even 5 years later. i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

God bless Patrick and his family!

Rosie DiManno wrote about it in the Star about a week or so ago. He's declined treatment. He says two rounds of chemo are enough for him.
 
Around this time last year, I lost my mom because of pancreatic cancer. She was 59. When that happened, I learned something .... there are things in life that even $$ is useless no matter how much. Three days ago, a friend's mother passed away because of the same illness.

Neither of these 2 ladies ever smoked.

It's sad and I try not to think about it. I love life but IF I get this damn thing, I know what needs to be done .....

These farking, heartless, know-it-all nannies in today's society are always ready to blame tobacco for EVERY illness.

Steve Jobs suffered from pancreatic cancer, and has led a presumably, (and vegan) lifestyle. I suspect that he hasn't smoke, either. So, what caused HIS cancer?

Go back and hide under your rock, you heartless, politically correct a$$hole.
 
My mother never smoked either (my father did - for 50 years, but quit 10 years before he died of lung cancer)

My old man was made of steel. I was amazed when he got tagged by the Big C.

I'm curious to know something. Of the few other posters who had relatives die of Pancreatic Cancer, do you know if your relatives were on any form of medication for high blood pressure or slight diabetes issues.

My mother was never on insulin, but she had to watch her sugar intake. The doctor prescribed several different kinds of oral medication to control her sugar levels and I am convinced that one of these, perhaps in combination with her Blood Pressure medication caused her Pancreatic cancer.

Thanks

Most people classify the cancer by the location which is wrong. My wife has colon cancer, major disfiguring operation awhile ago, which spead to the liver and then lungs a few years later. They took 1/2 of her liver and 1/3 of a lung. That was 3 years ago. Liver grows back. It's back on her lung now. She's on her third six month chemo treatment in the last 4 years. Tough, tough lady.

I'm sad to hear that Burns is throwing in the towel. I heard that he was trying alternative treatments. Been there. It's 90% charlatans with the odd well meaning, but ineffective, "true believer". His desease must have really spread quickly this time.

After being close to this for 7 years now I'd have to say that that line from Bucket List is true " Somewhere some lucky guy is dying of a heart attack"

And 261252, you are a first class ass
