Patrick Swayze knew he was ‘a dead man’ upon hearing cancer diagnosis: widow

Patrick Swayze’s widow, Lisa Niemi Swayze, is opening up about the difficult journey following his cancer diagnosis.

During a recent appearance on the “Amy and T.J. Podcast,” Lisa shared Patrick’s initial reaction to hearing he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2008.

“When he first found out he had pancreatic cancer he turned to me and said, ‘I’m a dead man,’” Lisa said on the podcast. “I didn’t know much about pancreatic cancer, but he did, and from what he knew anytime you heard someone had had pancreatic cancer it was like, ‘Well, he’s out of here.’

She further explained the actor’s doctors were able to confirm his diagnosis following an endoscopic procedure, after which they informed her of his condition, leaving her to wonder when the right time was to tell her husband.
