He reportedly received three treatments of chemotherapy which made a little progress in shrinking the tumor but doctors are concerned that it's not enough.
Neither Patrick, his reps, or his family have released any statements or confirmed the National Enquirer's report.

"Actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment.

All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.'
