New Hope for Patrick Swayze!

Patrick Swayze’s strong physique may be his greatest weapon in his fight against Pancreatic cancer. The 55-year old actor has been given new hope after finding out that the drug he’s taking to fight his illness responds better to people who are physically fit.
“The drug that Patrick Swayze is taking, Vatalanib, is still in the experimental stage,” Dr. M. Wasif Saif, Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of the Gastrointestinal Program at Yale Universtiy tells OK!. “But recent studies have shown promise for patients taking the drug who are in excellent physical shape.”
Patrick’s strength comes from years of horse riding and his dance training at the Joffrey Ballet School in New York. East Valley Feed and Tack owner, John Fusano tells OK!, “Patrick orders supplies for his horses from us. I haven’t seen him in a while, but he’s a strapping giant of a man. He’s got tree trunks for legs!”

Cancer is like the worry-wart. If you worry to much on it- it will stay and take over your every thought and take over your ability to heal and believe. Warting off worry is just what Patrick has been blessed to do. He is strong and determined and God knows his heart so from our hearts and house to the Swayze’s - God Bless- and know our prayers & hearts are with you and on the prayer line straight to Heaven for you. Sending are Love……..CAnn, Molly & Family….
