Patrick Swayze, another victim

I just can't stand this. A terrific actor and dancer whose lines many of us can recite, has succumbed to the terrible disease of pancreatic cancer. Here is his career in photos, per the LA Times: http://bit.ly/BUWvf . He and my dad were diagnosed at nearly the same time and a year apart in age. Fortunately for Patrick, he had the means to travel to the best hospitals around and get more treatments. He also wasn't as far along in the disease as Daddy-O. That's why we simply need to help find more funding, more research, more doctors willing to fight this with the passion and drive that others take against breast cancer or heart disease.

It's too underfunded. Please go to PanCan Network to make a donation or find out how you can help. Please.
