Patrick Swayze talks about the cancer

Premiere Of MGM's

Actor Patrick Swayze talked about his cancer and what he’s currently going through with Barbara Walters this week. Here’s what he had to say:

“You can bet that I’m going through hell,” Swayze says to Walters. “And I’ve only seen the beginning of it.”

“There’s a lot of fear here,” he adds. “There’s a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, I’m scared. Yeah, I’m angry. Yeah, I’m [asking] why me. Yeah, I’m all this stuff.”

He also added how he found out he was suffering from cancer: he tried to have some champagne on New Year’s Eve, and it felt like he was drinking acid (fun, right?). And the intestinal issues just started following right on top of each other: he couldn’t eat, was having massive pain, and he lost twenty pounds just like that. How scary! Last I heard, his body is responding well to treatment, so hopefully we’ll have him around for a while longer.
