Swayze angry over 'close to deathr' reports

Actor Patrick Swayze is angry about American newspaper reports that say he does not have long to live.

Actor Patrick Swayze is angry about American newspaper reports that say he does not have long to live.

Swayze, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year, issued a statement today affirming that so far he is winning his fight against the disease and responding well to treatment.

Swayze said: “They’re reporting that I’m on my last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family!

“It’s upsetting that the shoddy and reckless reporting from these publications cast a negative shadow on the positive and good fight I’m fighting.”

Swayze, who stars in the forthcoming A&E series 'The Beast', said such coverage is tantamount to “emotional cruelty”.
