Cancer-stricken Patrick Swayze has been released from the hospital one week after checking himself in, his publicist said Friday.

Publicist Annett Wolf would not elaborate on the actor’s condition but told The Associated Press he “is well enough to have been released.” He is now resting at his L.A. home, Wolf said.
