Patrick Swayze remains “upbeat” in hospital, mom says.
Cancer-stricken actor Patrick Swayze, who was hospitalized Friday for pneumonia, is “doing fine,” his mother, Patsy Swayze, told Usmagazine.com on Monday. “He sounds really upbeat and positive. “We don’t talk about illness when I talk to him,” she said. “He hasn’t even been there a week!”
In an ABC primetime special last week, Swayze, 56, denied that he was on his deathbed but said he may have only two years to live. “I’d say five years is pretty wishful thinking,” said The Beast actor, who revealed he had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer last year. “Two years seems likely if you’re going to believe statistics. “I want to last until they find a cure, which means I’d better get a fire under it.”
