Patrick Swayze Talks Cancer Battle

It’s been an up-and-down battle for Patrick Swayze as of late. And as he’s struggled with pancreatic cancer, the “Dirty Dancing” stud says he’s hopeful for the best.

In a special interview with Barbara Walters called “Patrick Swayze: The Truth,” he confesses that while he’s in decent health at the moment, he also realizes that things could go downhill very quickly.

He reveals, "I'd say five years [to live] is pretty wishful thinking. Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."

Swayze also tells that he’s not giving up his fight, regardless of the odds. "When do you decide the fight isn't matching up to your quality of life? So far, I've got potential for a lot of quality of life."
