Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer and has just a few weeks left to live according to several reports out this morning.

For the past month, the 55-year-old actor has been traveling to Stanford University’s prestigious cancer centre in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, The National Enquirer has reported.

He is said to have lost more than 20 pounds in the past few weeks and is restricted to a liquid diet because he has trouble keeping down solid food.

The source told the magazine: “It’s time to start praying for a miracle.”

Swayze shot to fame with Jennifer Grey in the 1987 classic Dirty Dancing.

Some of his other more famous roles were in Ghost, City of Joy, Point Break, Roadhouse, Youngblood, and North and South.

Swayze is married to Lisa Niemi.

Patrick we are praying for a miracle.
