I'm very sad.
When I heard about the pancreatic cancer, it was just a big thunk inside. In my experience, you don't survive that one. I hear there is a percentage that do - but I've never met or even heard of one. Not ever. There are only a couple others that are as innately deadly.
People want to say he 'lost the battle.' That's an insult. You aren't given a chance to fight anything - this is something that steals your life, turns everything inside out and then takes your life without asking you so much as a mother-may-I. You *might* survive the treatment for it, you *might* end up cancer-free at some point...but this is hardly what I would call a fair fight, or even a battle of any kind. Nobody asks you, after all.
I'm certain whatever could have been done, was - for a guy nobody I knew would say a harsh word about, Patrick Swayze.
Hey, Patrick - want to do me a favor? Go over and give Freddie Mercury my regards?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vixy would like him to get his ass kicked (holy cow, go check mysticfig for details) and that sounds pretty good today.
And if you can get Ray Charles to stop kicking Michael Jackson's ass (maybe he's let John Lennon get a lick or two in by now), you should definitely have a word with him.
Give Bill Bixby a hug from me, and tell everyone I'll see them later.
