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”.
