Patrick Swayze: I’m scared and angry about cancer

Actor discusses his battle with the disease

Wednesday, 7 January 2009

Patrick Swayze has spoken out about his pancreatic cancer in a TV interview.

The actor, 56, was diagnosed with the disease last year.

‘You can bet that I’m going through hell,’ he said. ‘And I’ve only seen the beginning of it.

'There’s a lot of fear here. There’s a lot of stuff going on.

'Yeah, I’m scared. Yeah, I’m angry. Yeah, I’m asking, “Why me?”’

But Patrick wants to enjoy every day he has with his wife of 33 years, Lisa Niemi.

‘I keep dreaming of a future,’ he told US interviewer Barbara Walters.

‘A future with a long and healthy life, not living in the shadow of cancer, but in the light.’
