Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer that has rapidly spread to other organs, leaving him with just five weeks to live.
For the past month, Patrick, 55, has been traveling to Stanford University's prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatments will be successful.
He received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less than his doctors had hoped for â€" and Patrick was told he should prepare for the end.
"He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short - they held out little hope for a cure," said an insider
