As you all know, I despise sad news that makes me want to break out the Haagen-Daaz, but I felt the need to let you all know that Patrick Swayze has made the decision to stop all medical treatment for his pancreatic cancer. Yeah, I know. After doctors told him that there was little they could do to stop the progress of his illness, it was a tough decision that he had to make. So apparently now, Patrick is going to just let his body attempt to fight off the cancer on his own.

Ughhh. How freakin’ sad.

A family friend told a source, “There’s nothing more doctors can do for him. We are down to the wire and the goal now is to keep Patrick comfortable. His condition is inoperable and they have stopped the chemo. He’s still losing weight and he’s very weak. Patrick regards himself as a cowboy, and is determined to die with his boots on and no regrets.”

It is amazing how he has already beaten the odds. Doctors say that with pancreatic cancer, most patients will only survive 6 months after being diagnosed. Patrick was diagnosed with this virulent form of cancer 12 months ago. How can you not admire this man for fighting so long and hard? We can only send him our best wishes and prayers. Hang in there, Patrick!
