Even though “The National Enquirer” printed a story about Patrick Swayze’s health titled, “The End”, Patrick wants us all to know that he’s not at the end, and that he has a lot to be thankful for right now.

The cover story features Patrick looking frail and on death’s door, but he’s not having any of that. He’s a busy man with a lot on his plate. Firstly, he’s battling pancreatic cancer, while working on “The Beast”, and also he’s got a book in the works.

The “National Enquirer” is just trying to sell copies, plain and simple. For them to try and capitalize on and exploit his health problems is just plain wrong.

He says, “It’s amazing to me that the tabloids such as ‘The National Enquirer’ print such negative stories about me and my health when there are so many positive things going on in my life right now. I’ve started a new chemotherapy and once again I am one of the lucky ones with pancreatic cancer that is responding well to the treatment.”

He adds, “There is a brand new, twelve week old, Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy named Kumasai in my life who is gorgeous and already showing that he will be one special dog. I am starting work on my new book, in addition to enjoying the fantastic response from everyone on my A&E series “The Beast“. I hope in the future, the press will think twice about printing inaccuracies and painting an unpleasant picture when I have so much to be thankful for at this time.”

I agree. Leave the negativity out of any reporting done with regard to Patrick Swayze or his health. The man has plenty on his mind already, without the need of worrying about tabloids printing up some fake stories.
