Swayze: "I'm Going Through Hell!"


"There's a lot of fear here," Swayze said. "There's a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, I'm scared. Yeah, I'm angry. Yeah, I'm [asking] why me. Yeah, I'm all this stuff."
The 56-year-old's battle with cancer began late in 2007. As he celebrated New Year's Eve with his wife, Lisa Niemi, Swayze felt that something was wrong.
"I tried to have champagne, and it would be like pouring acid, you know, on an open wound."

Soon he found "my indigestion issues got gigantic and constant. And then I started thinking, I'm getting skinny. I dropped about 20 pounds in the blink of an eye. And then when you see it in the mirror, when all of a sudden, you pull your eyes down and the bottom of your eyes go yellow and jaundice sets in -- then you know something's wrong."
Swayze realized that he needed medical attention. "I started doing a little research and started realizing this is not pretty. This is not a good thing."

I wish him all the best in his struggle with a horrible disease. He has raised awareness, and he has been working on the "race for the cure". I have always enjoyed watching him since he was a very young actor/dancer.
