Patrick Swayze’s widow reveals actor’s first subtle symptoms of cancer

”I think at the point that one is already diagnosed with cancer, there’s little additional harm in it,” Dr. Fisher said. “And if it — it seems to provide him some comfort or partly identity of who he is, I certainly have no objections to that.”

Patrick Swayze last words

On September 14, 2009, 20 months after he was diagnosed with cancer, Patrick Swayze died. Before his passing, Patrick provided his mother with a house and also sent her a monthly allowance, which his wife Lisa continued to do. He also left his $40 million fortune to his wife.

Niemi stayed by her husband’s side in his final hours and can still recall the final words they shared with each other:

“My last words to Patrick? ‘I love you,’ and those were his last words to me,” she recalled.
