Patrick Swayze Slams Tabloids Over False Health Reports
LOS ANGELES — Patrick Swayze says he's disappointed in the media for continuing to mislead readers about his condition ever since he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year.
"I'm very proud of the work I've done on my new series 'The Beast,' and I am happy to be back home for the holidays. It's a great feeling of accomplishment to say you're gonna do something and do it," the 56-year-old actor told People Tuesday in an exclusive statement.
"The only thorn in my side being that many tabloids have been consistently reporting lies and false information about me and those close to me," he continued. "And latest, they're reporting that I'm on my last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family!"
While he realizes that he still faces a long road ahead, Swayze told the magazine that he's been pleased with his recovery to date.
"Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease and from the moment I was diagnosed, I knew I was in for the fight of my life," said the "Dirty Dancing" star. "It's a battle, and so far, I've been winning. I'm one of the lucky few that responds well to treatment."
"It's upsetting that the shoddy and reckless reporting from these publications cast a negative shadow on the positive and good fight I'm fighting," he continued. "For me, my family, and those close to me, it amounts to downright emotional cruelty. That makes me angry when hope is so precious."
"As always, I appreciate all the love and support people have sent and continue to send my way. I thank you," added Swayze.
