apparently this leaked rumor is false. his management/publisist did issue a statement confirming he has panceatic cancer but have denied the five weeks to live bit
It's been disputed that Patrick has only weeks to live. Nonetheless pancreatic cancer is one of the forms of the disease that, unless it's caught early enough, has a very high fatality rate. We can only wish him well in his fight.
TY. I have been bumping around he net but there doesn't seem to be any firm stories about just how bad it is.
Hated Dirty Dancing but loved him in Too Wong Foo and Donnie Darko just because he proved he can handle anything.
Hope they can get him well again.
