Patrick Swayze - star of screen gems such as Dirty Dancing, Ghost and Donnie Darko - has apparently received news that he has only five weeks left to live. The actor was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year and has since been seeking treatment at Stanford University’s cancer center for chemotherapy treatment, which has not sated the spreading of his condition.

While the report is unconfirmed (which most of the time means that it’s undeniably true), it went on to state that “sufferers of pancreatic cancer typically have a survival rate of less than five per cent, but if the cancer has spread to Swayze’s other vital organs he has an even lower chance of beating the disease.”

Sadness ensues… Nobody puts Baby in the corner.
