Back To Work For The Swayze

Patrick Swayze isn't letting a thing called pancreatic cancer stop him from doing what he's good at. He's just signed on to star in the A&E series "The Beast."

The Hollywood Reporter reports that the ""Beast," centers on an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran (Swayze) who trains a new partner (Travis Fimmel) in his hard-edged and psychologically clever style of agenting while being pursued by a secret Internal Affairs team."

Production on the 13 episodes begin this summer in Chicago. The show will air in 2009.

The Swayze will continue treatment at Stanford University Medical Center while shooting the show. He said, "I have searched for quite a long time to find a character that is this multi-layered, unpredictable and downright entertaining, as well as a project this current and cutting-edge."

He's back! As much as I can't wait to see The Swayze on TV, I really think he should put out a full-length album. "She's Like The Wind" and "Raising Heaven (In Hell Tonight)" are both on heavy rotation in my iTunes.

Nectar, I actually didn't have any symptoms. I'm 38 and had been wearing contacts for 25 years. My eyes were starting to reject contacts, so I went in for a screening to get LASIK surgery done. During the screening, they found an unidentifiable spot on my right cornea. I was sent to a corneal specialist at Wash Univ in St. Louis and he diagnosed it. I have been taking Intron A drops since March and that is what has caused the blood vessel to recede and the cancer to start clearing up. It was caught very early, so it was a good thing I decided to get the LASIK screening when I did. I assume that had it been allowed to grow, it would have started to cross over the pupil area, and bad vision would have been my first symptom.

He is my favorite. I support him.I saw his profile on millionaire&celeb dating site --
-%%%%%##@@!!!!"AffluentBachelors.com ----$%%%" last week. It is said he is in relationship with a young beautiful woman on that site now.

forever.now's picture

it is great to see him doing so well against his illness and being able to take roles.

The search box on this site does not work, moderators.

Shandi, please come back to this thread and tell us the symptoms of corneal cancer. How did you know something was wrong. Fill us in, please. Would the owners of this site please erase a celeb from the list on right, maybe Michelle Rodriquez and post up Patrick Swayze instead. We care about him more than most others on here with the exception of Brangelina.

Hey Shandi,

glad to her you're doing better and your fight against cancer is going well. It's a terrible disease, hope you stay strong until your body is completely clear of it. Best of luck.

I don't know if anyone remembers, but on the day they announced that Patrick had pancreatic cancer, it was the same day that I found out (and announced) that I had cancer in my right eye, on the cornea. I am please to announce that after following my doctor's treatment, the cancer is MUCH smaller now and the blood vessel feeding it has regressed to the point that it is only 1.3 mm long! I am 'slamming this cancer into the ground' as someone else said!

He was great in "Donnie Darko".

Boring story: My BFF at the time and I used to go to this restaurant he part-owned (Mulholland Drive Cafe) and she always used to ask if he was around, and she told me one night I didn't go that he was there and bought her an apricot sour at the bar; she was prone to exaggeration so I didn't believe her. But the place had pretty good food, and the bar drew this odd mix of people that made it a really fun place to have a few drinks.

Devore's picture

the post printed a recent pic of swayze at a baskeball game, he looked really sick.

i hope he recovers too.

P.T.Bull's picture

Hope he recovers and is well. Do the doctors realize that his left half is asian while his right is european?

So good to see him back in front of a camera, doing what he loves.
My favorite movie of his is "Red Dawn". Love it.........
And yeah, Sam Elliot is to-die-for, manly sexy. there is a country singer named Aaron Tippen who looks just like him. Yummy!!!!

Living well is the best revenge.......

You go Patrick Swayze. You take that pancreatic cancer and you slam it up against the wall and you pound the shit out of it, until it slinks off and infects someone we hate, like Paris Hilton or Shitney.

It wasn't nearly as bad as some critics said but a little odd for kids.. that whole 'demon' animal guide/familiar thing..

My all time favorite movie quote is from Roadhouse. Dalton had gotten stabbed breaking up a bar fight at the Double Deuce and ended up in the ER. The sexy blond doctor enters and offers to numb him up before she staples his abdomen shut again. Dalton refuses the pain meds because:

"Pain don't hurt."

He also carries his medical records with him at all times because it:
"Saves time."

I wonder if my professor will give me a freebie if I explain this situation to her?
***************************************

When you explain your situation and she looks at you like you're completely batshit, tell her
'Oh give me a fucking break who doesnt like porn;)'

Then say 'alright then tell everyone in the class that you've NEVER watched porn.

Better yet, never mind. You shouldn't do that lol. The only thing you'll get out of her is an 'F'. Or a date. lol

Yeah Sam is one of my favorites. I watched the Golden Compass (with my little one) and he was in it! I was excited and that in itself redeemed the movie. Love that bitch.

Madame Dufarge, Sam Elliot has still got it. The possibility is there if Swayze wants to get on board.

But no, in all seriousness, I need to get some help for my internet porn addiction and my new addiction to Ed Westwick (the guy in my avie). I really need to see someone about this because I have a 10 page paper that was due Friday that I STILL can't write because I can't stop watching sexy times and Ed. *sigh* I wonder if my professor will give me a freebie if I explain this situation to her?

I'm going to imdb now..

It actually sounds like something I want to watch. I love shows about stuff like that.
And wow. I really hope this means he is doing ok...as he will be the main character. I think it's actually smart on his end too...act like you will get better- the whole positive mindset that is critical in beating a disease- is half the battle. By committing to this series he is saying he's going to be around for a while. Good for him.

Isn't Travis Fimmel that Australian guy who was Tarzan? Isn't he the guy they fashioned Sam's boyfriend after on Sex and the City? He really was the guy with the billboard for Calvin Klein that they had to take down in London because he was causing traffic accidents.

I like Swayze and hope he gets stronger by the day. But in reality, I would have rather seen Kirk Russell in this role instead. Russell has more acting chops for the meaty...

In the 80's there was no one prettier than Rob Lowe.
__________________________________________________

I have the VHS copy of "The Outsiders". We used to watch the scene over and over when they were all in the bathroom and Rob Lowe was coming out of the shower. To this day I swear to goodness that you can get a glimpse of his family jewels. I was sooo into C. Thomas Howell back then. I recently saw him on that VH-1 magic reality show, and I felt bad for him. Gotta love the 80's!
