Genome Sequencing was too late for Patrick Swayze

Noo ! Cancer patients are not helpless.

The news first broke in March 2008 that Swayze has pancreatic cancer. He was given a prognosis of anywhere from two to five years. Swayze even told ABC’s Barbara Walters, “I want to last until they find a cure, which means I’d better get a fire under it.”

He wanted to do something about it, while watching time passing by, Swayze wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post early this year, asking congress to approve the maximum funding for the NIH (at that time the $10B stimulus bill).

I’m sure he was happy to know that Congress did approve the maximum $10B stimulus package for the NIH.

RIP Patrick. You did your best in fighting pancreatic cancer physically and mentally.

There is a long way to go. Future will show.
