Friday at a press event for the Television Critics Association it was announced that Patrick Swayze has fallen ill with pneumonia and has checked himself into a hospital. A&E president Abbe Raven said;
“As we arrived here this morning we have some news, Patrick Swayze has checked himself into the hospital. However, he asked us specifically to go forward with today’s panel. We wish him the very best with his recovery.”
The pneumonia is said to be caused by a complication of chemotherapy treatments for Swayze’s pancreatic cancer. Patrick just did an interview with Barbara Walters where he discussed his battle and how he is “going through hell.” The saddest part of the interview was when he told Walters that he only has a few years left to live but that he wanted to work as long as he could.
