Patrick Swayze Has Five Weeks to Live Due to Pancreatic Cancer

Atlanta, GA 3/05/2008 03:44 PM GMT (FINDITT)



Patrick Swayze was told that he has five weeks to live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Swayze, 55, has been sick with the disease since he was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer, but the cancer has since spread to other organs and now the Dirty Dancing star is dying.

For the past month, Swayze has been traveling to Stanford University’s cancer center for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer hopeful that the treatments will be successful, according to the National Enquirer.

Swayze received three doses of chemotherapy, causing the tumor to shrink, but less than his doctors had hoped for.

Swayze has reportedly lost more than 20 pounds in the past few weeks and is restricted to a liquid diet because he has trouble keeping down solid food.

I just posted the final item that The Hip donated to help recover the costs associated with repairing and replacing our recording gear that was damaged by a drunken idiot during the Kingston show.

Amazing album. I've listened to the entire thing about three times now, and I think it's safe to say it's her best work yet.

  Reuters- Canada says didn't misrepresent Obama over NAFTA

By David Ljunggren

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada on Monday denied it had tried to sway the U.S. presidential election by misrepresenting Democratic candidate Barack Obama with the suggestion that he didn't really believe his criticisms of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Obama and rival Hillary Clinton -- who both blame the deal for job losses -- say the United States could quit NAFTA unless Canada and Mexico agree to major changes.

Key Obama economic advisor Austan Goolsbee discussed his candidate's policies with the Canadian consulate in Chicago, which wrote a report suggesting Obama's words on NAFTA were designed for a political audience and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

The report was leaked to the U.S. media, prompting some Democrats to accuse Canada's right-leaning Conservative government of trying to interfere in the election -- a charge dismissed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

"I certainly deny any allegation that this government has attempted to interfere in the American election," he told Parliament.

"The American people will make the decision as to their next president and I am confident that whoever that person is ... (they) will continue the strong alliance, friendship and partnership that we enjoy with the United States."

Canada sends 75 percent of its exports to the United States and would be badly hurt if Washington pulled out of NAFTA. Government and opposition officials in Canada say they don't believe the talk of withdrawal is serious.

"In the recent report produced by the consulate general in Chicago, there was no intention to convey, in any way, that Senator Obama and his campaign team were taking a different position in public from views expressed in private, including about NAFTA," said a foreign ministry spokesman.

"We deeply regret any inference that may have been drawn to that effect."

Political rivals in Canada regularly accuse Harper of following the policies of U.S. President George W. Bush.

Canada's opposition left-leaning New Democrats have demanded that Harper fire Chief of Staff Ian Brodie, whom they accuse of leaking the document.

"I'm a little bit amused by the question of the leader of the (New Democrats) who is suggesting that we are so all-powerful we could interfere in the American election, pick their president for them. This government doesn't claim that kind of power," said Harper.

When I went to the concert February 23rd in Kingston, I visited the Lake Ontario Waterkeeper booth to speak to the two ladies there. I also bought a t-shirt and entered their draws. First prize was a hockey jersey signed by the band, and second prize was a copy of World Container signed by all the members of the band.

Today I received an email from the Office Administrator for the Lake Ontario Waterkeeper and I won the signed World Container CD. :thumb:
