In this file photo, actor Patrick Swayze attends the after-party for "Chicago - The Musical" in Los Angeles, California. (Kevin Winter/Getty Images) I am so sad to hear that Patrick Swayze lost his 20 month battle with Pancreatic Cancer. What a terrible loss. He was a good actor and clearly a loving husband.
