Patrick Swayze and his doctors decided it would be a good idea for him to stop taking chemotherapy in an effort to battle pancreatic cancer.

According to a report in the National Enquirer, doctors decided he is too weak to continue with chemo treatment.

"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.

During a recent interview to promote his show 'The Beast' Patrick told reporters, "My treatments are working and I am winning the battle." He was hospitalized for pneumonia shortly after.

Today I was watching an Episode of M.A.S.H.. Patrick was in the show. He was diagnosed with Leukemia. How ironic. In real like he is now passing with Pancreatic cancer. Patrick I thank you for the Big and Small Screen Movies you made and your performances you gave us. We all will remembers you for them. The time we spent passing our separate ways was all to short. I pray gods speed for you. May god be with you.
