(sigh)Heartsick, I am.
Having heard last night that Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer, I am grief-stricken, and probably not prematurely since malignancy in that organ is most likely a death sentence. Cancer is such a horrible disease, not just because of the suffering that accompanies it, but because it strips people of their dignity.
Patrick Swayze has had my attention since "Dirty Dancing" in 1987. He's sexy as hell, and it doesn't hurt that he's incredibly talented. His bouts with alcohol most likely exacerbated any predisposition to pancreatic problems, and I'm sure he has regrets about that lifestyle. Be that as it may, he's an icon and I can only hope that treatment is successful and that he has much more time left to wow us.
