Beloved "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" star Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has spread throughout his body and he was given only five more weeks to live, the National Enquirer reported.

Since late January when doctors have detected the illness, the 55-year-old actor and dancer has been receiving radical therapy from Stanford University's advanced cancer center in Pal Alto where he has been flying with his personal plane. However, the three rounds of chemotherapy he got didn't show any results and doctors are not hopeful.

An official confirmation or hopefully a refutation from Swayze or his publicist is yet to be made but a source close to the star said: "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.

"It's time to start praying for a miracle."

The shocking article states that Patrick has lost 20 pounds and is on a liquid diet because he can’t keep food down.
According to another source cited by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, the actor appears to be in good health, stating, "Patrick has been at rehearsals for a new cheerleading movie at a Century City studio frequently... and he definitely does not look like he has five more weeks of life left…

"I'm not sure of his medical condition, but, if he is gravely ill, he is hiding it very well."

In early February reports surfaced that Patrick Swayze was hospitalized for a serious "gastro-intestinal procedure" at Stanford Medical center, but his spokesperson simply said he was doing well and no further information was given.
