Is Patrick Swayze dying?

Well to be fair, smoking is absolutely a high risk activity for health problems, including cancer. And smokers know it so if they choose to continue smoking they have to accept the possible consequences. However, by the time the cancer is diagnosed it's often too late to quit anyway. So why not quit and avoid the diagnosis in the first place?? Just saying.

I hope what the rep said is true and that Patrick's doing well. I absolutely love him.

Quitting does not always help either-sometimes after a relatively short time the deadly seed has already been planted. And about the 'choice'..it is really an addiction once they get going. Nicotine is one of the most addictive things on Earth. Why oh Why do they start in the first place?

I hope so too. I don't want to hear that he has died anytime in the near future. He's great!

Yep, I wish every day that I had not picked up that stupid cig when I was 15. I HATE HATE HATE this damn addiction. I can't count how many times I've quit and started again. One of these times I will be successful...or it'll just kill me in the end.

this morning on GMA, Dr Tim was talking about Pancreatic Cancer. He said sometimes if its caught before it becomes symptomatic, that it can be stopped. Such as Steve Jobs. His was caught way early and they stopped it.
