Patrick Swayze and his posse of doctors are keeping their hopes high regarding the actor’s road to full recovery.
In an announcement released Tuesday, Swayze and his wife showed appreciation to the fans for their constant support as he goes through treatment for pancreatic cancer.
“We’re thrilled and grateful for the positive response Patrick has shown towards his treatment,” Swayze and Lisa Niemi, announced in a statement to People.
“Also, we can’t help but feel that all the prayers, meditations and good thoughts sent his way by everyone has made a difference. Thank you!”
News regarding the 55-year-old Dirty Dancing star was released last month, but both Swayze’s family and his doctor were nippy to disprove accounts that his state was hopeless.
“Patrick Swayze continues to respond well to his treatment for pancreatic cancer,” Dr. George Fisher, Swayze’s personal doctor, said Tuesday. “Because of his excellent response, he will continue the same therapy at Stanford [University Medical Center].”
