May you find peace as you trust and hope in His love, mercy, and power to heal. We pray for a miraculous recovery that you can be an example of His healing power.
Love you both.

Patrick: My prayers and good thoughts go out to you and your family. You are very brave and I know you can beat this monster. My mother died of cancer 25 years ago and she was a fighter too. God Bless - Tina Cernansky
-Tina Cernansky, Torrance

Dear Partick, when we ask "why me" we must remember that everyone has their battles . Some through sickness that will eventually be the death of them, some with mental or emotional concerns that will never heal even tho' they live a long time. My husband has Parkinson's and other ailments to exacerbate it. All we can do is do our best with whatever becomes us. I had a dear friend who had pancreatic cancer and, like him, I hope you can come to terms with the fact your life has not been meaningless and find acceptance so you won't be scared. You have accomplished so much that others will not be able to. You have made others happy and delighted them. WE all must carry on until Our heavenly Father decides he wants us to come live with him. The sound of that is so peaceful. You are loved and admired by so many. God bless you and your family as you continue to fight. With affection, Judith
-Judith Giglio, Winnetka

Patrick, Our prayers are with you and will continue through your fight and beyond. May the Lord protect and watch over you. The best to you, Lamont & Evelyn Burgess

You are in my prayers and know that Christ is with you always.

-Julie Lowe, Temecula

To The Swayze Family, In the Bible - Isaiah 53:5 says: But He was wounded for transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we were healed. God can do what doctors can't.

-Donna Craft, Woodbridge Va.

Patrick, I just LOVE you! Thank you for all of the wonderful movies you've made and for all of the future movies :) I just wanted to share with you one thing, there's an ingestible oxygen that kills cancer once you get it into the blood system. (It does a lot of good for one's health) You can find it at health food stores and it would be safe to mix with your other medicines. (You just add drops to water twice or three times a day) Make sure it's okay with you doctors but I think that you would benefit from that stuff :) Love you again, Marilyn
-Marilyn, Sun City, Calif.

Good thoughts are sent your way. I know you are a fighter and expect to see you back swinging and fighting this nasty disease.

-Carl C. Grillo, Rancho Cucamonga

Cancer is so limited ... It cannot cripple love. It cannot shatter hope. It cannot corrode faith. It cannot destroy peace. It cannot kill friendships. It cannot suppress memories. It cannot silence courage. It cannot invade the soul. It cannot steal eternal life. It cannot conquer the Spirit.

Dear Patrick and Lisa, Your family and mine have a special connection. When you were two years old, your mother lived next door to my Aunt Margarite Watson and my Uncle Oran Watson. My Aunt Margarite used to tell us the story over and over about bouncing adorable little two-year-old Patrick on her knee. I believe that was in Houston, Texas. Every time we would see you on TV, we would hear the same story again. She really loved you. Maybe you can ask her to appeal to Jesus to heal you, 'cause I'm sure she's in Heaven. I pray for you and am certain there are many others out there praying fervently for you speedy recovery. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. You are a sweet and gracious man, may God Bless You and keep you! :-) Jeane 
- Jeane Castile, Laguna Woods

I wish well for you and also your wife as she takes care of you. My wife is starting the third round of Chemo in some four years; first the breast, then the liver these last two times. Now to go back a few years: You as Orry Main and James Read as George Hazard sure did make your characters seem very real. Almost like I was experiencing the Civil and it`s root causes. It is still my favorite mini-series of all time. I found it very spell binding. And also the lady that played your wife, Leslie-Anne Downs as Madeleine. The three of you and some others seemed to plumb the depth of the emotions which existed at that time, God Bless 
- Albert Whizin, Texas

Dear Patrick, You are a survivor. Cancer can be very scary. Been there too. You will beat this. Your in my thoughts and prayers. God bless

I have enjoyed you as an actor since watching you on North and South. I was impressed with your connection to your Arabian horses when I saw how you handled them in a halter class. I owned an Arab for 28 years. My mother, also, had pancreatic cancer. She went to American Metabolic in San Diego and then to La Gloria. It is the most impressive cancer fighting center I know. My mother was beating the cancer at age 72. It can be done with natural European advancements. You have many years left and I thank you for your tenacity for life. Marsha
- Marsha Maulhardt, Oxnard

May the warm wishes and thoughts that surround you, lift your heart, brighten your world, and give you renewed strength for tomorrow. Take care of you.

Our thoughts go with you as you continue with life's journey. I am a dog person as I know you are. Your sadness at the loss of your dog years ago shows what a good person you are. You are not alone.

I have probably seen every movie you have ever made. HUGE FAN!! When I heard you were ill, I felt very bad.. You hang in there.. experiences like this are tough, I have never had to battle a serious disease myself, however, I did suffer a very tragic loss several years ago and sometimes you just ask "What the heck???" I'm not much of a prayer but my sincerest thoughts and wishes are for you to feel well and that you know that you are loved by many.

Dear Patrick, family and friends, You've been in our hearts for a long time, almost like we know you personally, and understand what your going through, as we have lost family members as well to cancers. Not to give false hope, but a San Bernardino City Firefighter was diagnosed with your type of cancer, and he received some treatment in Mexico, and he's still with us. A lot of other countries have medications they use that we can't in the states. Good luck to Patrick, and God Bless!
- Cindy, Yucaipa, Calif.

I pray for your miracle and relief from your suffering. May God heal you and return you to your home with your loving wife painfree. You have always been someone with integrity and a nice reputation. The will to live is stronger than any scientist can measure. God bless you.

We send you our heart felt prayers during your time of healing and recovery. You have always been a great actor but more importantly you seem to be a great human-being. God be with you and your family always.
- Donald & Kapiolani Newcombe, Northridge

Dear Patrick, I've been praying for you everyday since I heard you were ill. Remember, God's bigger than any illness and you're in his hands. You and Lisa are cared about than you may realize. My dad was a Stuntman for 50 years and I'm so sorry he never worked with you before he retired. Please hang in there, dear boy. God Bless you and your lovely wife!!

Patrick, I pray for you & your wife every day. You have been an inspiration to me for many years. When you became sick, I was so distraught. You are the reason I became a professional dancer and now own a dance studio! You have brought so much joy to others through your acting, your wonderful personal character and your dancing. I hope you bring more of that to us. Men like you are rare and I hope God chooses to leave you here with us a lot longer. God Bless!
