Patrick Swayze Sounds 'Upbeat'

Cancer-stricken actor Patrick Swayze, who was hospitalized Friday for pneumonia, is “doing fine,” his mother, Patsy Swayze, told Usmagazine.com.

“He sounds really upbeat and positive.

We don’t talk about illness when I talk to him,” she said.

Swayze recently admitted to Barbara Walters that he is going through hell due to his ongoing battle with pancreatic cancer.
