Friday 20th June 2008: Hello everyone,

Thank you to Swayze Buddy Sue from Michigan, USA has alerted us to an article in the Globe magazine which includes some quotes from Patrick as follows:

"Patrick Swayze has been battling deadly pancreatic cancer but he tells GLOBE in a world exclusive interview:"My treatments are working and I'm winning the battle".

The article continues: "..... he says he's packing on the pounds and feeling great. In fact, the only pain he is experiencing is from having a tooth puilled by a dentist."

Then Patrick tells the Globe he and Lisa are eating healthy: "We're juicing every day, along with my other treatments" he tells GLOBE. "And all I can say is - it's working". Meanwhile, Swayze is filled with hope. "I'm in great condition...I'm a cowboy. I'm a dancer. I'll beat this". copyright The Globe.

Thanks Sue - we're with you all the way Patrick!!

Paula now has a Private List as well for those who prefer not to have their name circulated among the other members of the Prayer Circle.

If you are able to commit to praying for Patrick at a particular time every day, please email Paula with your name, where you live (e.g New York, USA), your email address and the time of day or night that you would be willing to pray for him. Paula will send you a copy of the prayer rota so that you can see who else is praying for Patrick and when. Regular updates will also be sent to you.

Wednesday 5th March 2008: Hello everyone,

We have received the official statement from Patrick's publicist, which follows.

Statement from Patrick Swayze's Representatives:

"WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5TH: (Los Angeles): "Actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Patrick's physician Dr. George Fisher states, "Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic." Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."

We at the Fan Club send all our best wishes and positive thoughts to Patrick and Lisa at this difficult time. Get well soon Patrick!

Thank you to everyone who has sent fantastic messages of support to Patrick through the Fan Club and for all the lovely messages on our guestbook.

In friendship,
Margaret.
