Has Patrick Swayze given up hope?

Patrick Swayze has been in the spot light his whole life for acting. He has come out with some of the best movies of all times, like Dirty Dancing, Road House, and has starred in TV series as well. About a year ago he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He had had it for awhile and didn’t even know about it. When they finally figured out what it was it was too late it had already spread to his lungs. He tried to keep it as quiet as he could but the word got out and it hit the headlines. Most of the headlines were saying that Swayze only has a few months to live. He said that he is stubborn and is not ready to die. Well after proving the News and Doctors wrong going strong for over a year fighting this vigorous cancer he decided to go back to acting being the star in “The Beast”. There were a lot of people who thought he would not have the strength to do acting again with all of the treatments he has been going through, but than again he proved them wrong. Patrick and his wife finally went public about a month ago they did an interview on TV telling the World about his fears of fighting this cancer. It seemed pretty hard for him to talk about it.
The latest in the headlines is that Patrick quit treatment because he was being hospitalized for pneumonia a few weeks ago. But his publicist is denying that and states he is still in treatment. Everyone is saying that they cant believe how long Swayze has lasted with his cancer. Doctors say that with stage 4 pancreatic cancers you usually only live a few months. Well I hope he fights it as long as he can and does not give up hope.
