When it was announced Patrick Swayze had cancer, the showbiz world was left shocked and devastated.
But now it seems the star is fighting back.
His latest chat is very positive.
Patrick, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2008, is apparently responding well to ongoing chemotherapy.
"We're thrilled and grateful for the positive response Patrick has shown towards his treatment," Patrick and his wife Lisa Niemi said in a statement to People.
"Also, we can't help but feel that all the prayers, meditations and good thoughts sent his way by everyone has made a difference. Thank you!"
His physician, Dr George Fisher, added: "Patrick Swayze continues to respond well to his treatment for pancreatic cancer. Because of his excellent response, he will continue the same therapy at Stanford."
This is great news, we have to say it's made our day.
