    Newsday article....
    Patrick Swayze hospitalized for pneumonia

    Patrick Swayze was hospitalized and being treated for pneumonia Friday, days after he said in a prime-time special that he's "angry" and "going through hell" in his fight to beat inoperable pancreatic cancer.

    The news was revealed during an event for television critics in Los Angeles, where Swayze, 56, had been scheduled to discuss his upcoming A&E series "The Beast." He "asked us specifically to go forward with today's panel," said A&E Television Networks president and chief executive Abbe Raven.

    Last year, the actor revealed he had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. His publicist said there would be "no statement at this time."

    Bob DeBitetto, a top A&E executive, said at the critic's session that Swayze had decided to check himself into the hospital "for observation" after coming down with pneumonia. "Patrick did want me to tell you that he is very sorry he couldn't be at the panel this morning, but he plans to get back to promoting 'The Beast' as soon as he is back on his feet."

    In a conversation with ABC's Barbara Walters that aired Wednesday, Swayze said he was not on his deathbed but believed he may only have two years to live.

      Not likely, stage 4 pancreatic cancer is pretty much a death sentence. Just a matter of time.
