Patrick Swayze has, according to reports, decided to give up the chemotherapy as doctors concede that they can do little to halt the progress of his cancer.
According to a report in the National Enquirer, the actor has decided to stop all treatment for the pancreatic cancer he was diagnosed with .
“His condition is inoperable and they have stopped the chemo. He’s still losing weight and he’s very weak,” a family friend told the magazine.
“Patrick regards himself as a cowboy and is determined to die with his boots on and no regrets.”
The friend also said that the goal was now to keep Swayze comfortable.
Last week, the 56-year-old star of Dirty Dancing and Ghost announced plans to write his memoirs with his wife Lisa.
