This rumor is definitely gaining speed on the internet, and I hope it’s not true.

Patrick Swayze is dying from cancer and has just five weeks to live, according to The National Enquirer.

The magazine says the star of Dirty Dancing and Ghost was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January and that it has spread to other organs.

They claim Swayze has been having radical chemotherapy treatment recently but that doctors are not optimistic it will kill the disease.

An insider told The National Enquirer: “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.”

Sure, I know it’s The National Enquirer…but they’re not always wrong.  That’s the scary part.
