Patrick Swayze’s manager has issued a statement confirming the report by The National Enquirer, stating that he does indeed have pancreatic cancer and is given weeks to live by doctors.

Here is the statement issued by Swayze’s management through Page Six:

Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and might only have weeks to live, a rep for the star said today.

The 55-year-old star’s publicist confirmed to Page Six that he’s suffering from pancreatic cancer, which could tragically bring down the curtain on his remarkably diverse career.

Patrick was diagnosed with the cancer more than a month ago. Full statement at [Page Six]

COED honors the great actor’s work in Patrick Swayze’s Most Bad-Ass Hollywood Roles. Our prayers and well-wishes go out to his family and friends.
