Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in late January 2008, and has been undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments at the Stanford University Medical Center. A March 5, 2008 Reuters article reports that Swayze “has a very limited amount of disease, and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far”. Swayze’s doctor has confirmed the actor has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but insists he’s not as close to death as reports suggest. Specifically, Swayze was diagnosed with a type of pancreatic tumor called Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN). In early May 2008, it was widely reported that in a number of tabloids that Swayze had undergone surgery to remove part of his stomach after the spread of the cancer, and that he had rewritten his will, transferring his property to his wife. In a statement made on May 28, Swayze said that he continues to respond well to treatment at Stanford University Medical Center. In late May 2008 he was seen at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game, his first public appearance since his diagnosis. In 2008 Swayze was treated with Cyberknife radiotherapy cancer treatment. In late July 2008, six months after allegedly being given just weeks to live by medical experts, Swayze was seen in Los Angeles LAX airport appearing healthy.

O Demerol, medicamente alegadamente injectado ao cantor pouco antes da morte, é um poderoso medicamento para as dores, à base de morfina. Revelações que entroncam na polémica lançada pelas declarações, à CNN, de Brian Oxman, advogado da família Jackson. O uso de medicamentos estava a interferir com a vida dele. As lesões que sofreu ao actuar, nomeadamente a vértebra partida ea perna partida numa queda do palco, estavam a atrapalhar, argumentou. Não quero apontar o dedo a ninguém porque quero esperar pelo relatório de toxicologia e ouvir o que o médico legista tem para dizer, mas é um facto que Michael Jackson tinha receitas para medicamentos à disposição sempre que queria, disse o advogado Brian Oxman, ao programa da CBS “The Early Show”. Já tinha avisado toda a gente que isto um dia poderia acontecer, que o Michael Jackson um dia poderia acordar morto, o que é uma forma estranha de dizer as coisas… “As pessoas que o acompanhavam permitiram-lhe ter acesso (a medicamentos).
