I saw part of it on GMA this morning. He seems to realize he doesn't have a whole lot of time since he stated that he's still smoking and if he had any indication he was going to live longer than five minutes, he'd quit.

I don't think I can watch it. I just attended a wake on Sunday for another 56 year old man who died from pancreatic cancer. Too real, you know?

I understand Denise. I don't think Patrick has a whole lot of time left either. I thought in the pictures of him it was obvious the cancer was eating him up. He looks shrunken and fragile.

I didn't know about it(interview)...I may watch. I just watched Dirty Dancing this past weekend

My mom wants to watch, but I'm not sure if I will.

 

[mollyrock]

don't think so. Jim lost a coworker last year to it and my friend/framer just told me Monday one of her dearest friends found out she has pancreatic cancer. I can't bear to watch.

I am planning on watching, already have it set up on the DVR.

Not a very good survival rate with pancreatic cancer.. my cousin died from it.. as soon as i heard what he had i was pretty sure that was it.. he's done well though.. released a movie and still seems to be in decent shape.. it can kill very quickly, i think my cousin passed within 3 months of a diagnosis

It's what got Michael Landon too, another smoker.

We have a family friend that just recently died of pancreatic cancer....he died 18 days after his diagnosis. Scary. Another family friend recently died of it as well, but he lingered for more than a year after being diagnosed. Both of these guys were non-smokers.

I used to work for a pancreatic surgeon. I can't watch.

 

[imported_azlab]

To be honest I am very suprised he is still alive..pancreatic cancer is normally a very quick killer.

I refused to watch it. A girl that I went to school with just lost her mother last year to it... Too difficult to watch that stuff.

 

[Kimmers]

I watched it. It hits very close to home for me in more ways than one.
I bawled my eyes out the entire time. No joke.
It makes me upset that he's still smoking, but I have so much respect for him for not holing his life away just because he's sick.
He's always been one of my favorite actors, and this is so incredibly sad. I just love him.

 

[kaznalf]

He looks so thin

 

[imported_zoezoe]

Wow...just wow! I watched every minute...

 

[imported_kelli]

Wasn't it good? His poor wife =(

I watched it. I admire their strength and courage during this difficult time.

I have mixed emotions about the smoking. I remember when my mother in law was in a nursing home back in the 70's. I used to take her a beer and a cigarette. I would wheel her outdoors into the garden and ask her if she wanted a smoke and then I would show her the beer in my purse. To this day, I can remember the smile on her face and the joy that drag on the cigarette brought her along witht the sip of beer. I would do it all over again.
