Sadly, Cancer Puts Swayze in the Corner

Categories: Media

No! Not Bodhi! Word comes today that '80s heartthrob, general badass, and undeniably awesome dancer Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January and has been getting dosed with "radical chemotherapy" at nearby Stanford University's cancer center. The 55-year-old Swayze is responding well to treatment according to his publicist, who has denied earlier reports saying that the actor had been given only weeks to live. As a tribute, above is that legendary SNL skit in which Chris Farley and Swayze compete for a spot as Chippendales dancers.
