22 months is amazing for that disease. My mom was diagnosed with stage 3 and passed away in 6 weeks. I miss her every single day. Thank you for carrying on and raising awareness.❤
It really is amazing. My aunt lasted about 6 months after her diagnosis 😢
So sorry for both of your loss 🙏💜
Didn't Alex Trebek manage five years or so?
Of course it is notoriously hard to catch early and perhaps they did in his cass.
I lost my boyfriend a year ago. Most horrible disease. 😊
😢
Patrick was my crush for so many years. His smile, his sweetness won me over. I still miss seeing him on the screen. What an amazing man. ❤
I never cry when a celebrity dies, but when Patrick Swayze died, I'll admit I teared up. He was the best in the 80s and 90s and all of us that were kids during that time have fond memories of Swayze and all the wonderful movies he has been in. I'm glad that Lisa found a new love. She is a beautiful person in and out and I wish her all the happiness in the world.
I cried for Patrick.. Robin Williams and Steve Irwin.
@@sherrystrawn7628 Especially when Steve Irwin’s wife said while sobbing, “I lost my Prince.”
@@jsterling6805 I can hear and see her now saying that. That has stuck with me through the years. Steve was my hero growing up.
I agree with what has been said. Steve, Patrick, Robin, and the Queen were the ones that had me in tears.
@@melaniebuchanan780
.. Yes to Queen Elizabeth, and Princess Diana as well. 💔🇬🇧💔
I cried for all too. I was a big fan of Steve. Gos rest all their souls
Patrick was truly an amazing actor. We were lucky that he brought us such wonderful movies to watch. That is so wonderful that Patrick and Lisa shared such a beautiful love together.
You can feel the love and respect between them.
I like the way Lisa described how you never stop loving your husband, even though they're not physically here anymore. I could never envision being married again, but when you're only in your 50's, you're still young. Four years after losing my precious husband, God had a different plan, so I married again. I felt guilty for a while, like I was betraying him, but like Lisa said, it doesn't take anything away from the love you had with him.💗
You can still see how much Lisa loved him. I admire her strength. She's beautiful. Patrick is looking down on Lisa. God bless her.
Never forget the first time I saw him as the oldest brother ‘Darry’ to ‘Pony Boy’ in S.E. Hinton’s ‘The Outsiders’ 🌟 What a breakthrough role for him and what a great cast 💖 I read all three of the books as a youngster, so it was awesome to see those poignant coming of age themes brought to life to well by the late Mr. Swayze, Tom Cruise, C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Diane Lane, Emilio Estevez, Leif Garrett, Rob Lowe , Ralph Macchio et al ~ Yet it was his role as Orry Main in ‘North and South’ adapted from the John Jakes novels, however, that was his most powerful role in my opinion.
A rare one ☝️ ~ He is missed but not forgotten 🌹
Many Thanks for sharing and I wish his widow the Very Best 🦋🍀🧚🌺
Yeah, I’m surprised they credited Dirty Dancing as his breakthrough. It was The Outsiders.
@@jess4metoo ~ Indeed ~ Yet seeing that it was his widow ~ Perhaps she knows best 🌝🌺💖
I didn't know there were 3 books.
1. Outsiders
2. That was then this is now
3.??
@@juanitajames8443 ~ I read four of her books actually ~ two of which ‘Tex’ and ‘Rumble Fish’ were made into films 🎥 starring Matt Dillon 🧚 Yet, I liked Patrick Swayze the best, as he seemed to have that something extra, which we all now miss 🍀 May He Rest In Peace ☮️💖🌹
I’ve replied about three times to Ms. Juanita James, but it seems as if my replies are being deleted? What’s up with that ?
Such a beautiful man and great actor. I have always been such a big fan of Patrick Swayze. R.I.P Patrick
I loved Patrick's Movies . So Talented. Obviously he loved Lisa . RIP Mr. Swayze
Thank you Lisa for keeping people informed about Pancreatic Cancer. My father was diagnosed with stage 4, and passed away in just 14 days.
Beverly, My heart breaks for you. back in 2011 , My Mom was diagnosed stage 4 and her oncologist said she had maybe 3 months. And he told her that if she was his mother , he advised against any treatment. As she would be miserable for 2 months. So she didn't take the treatment. And she was very happy for 2 and a half months. And the last 2 weeks after that she got great care from hospice when it got bad.
One of my favorite actors. It seems like the good ones are always taken too soon. They get what life is all about. They are helpful and kind.. so they fulfill their mission faster than the rest of us.. and then they move on. RIP Patrick. You are definitely missed. ❤
Beautifully put Sherry, " the good ones are always taken too soon. They get what life is all about. They are helpful and kind.. so they fulfill their mission faster than the rest of us.. and then they move on."💜
Well Said God Bless You Amen xxxxxxx And God Bless Your Earthly Life Time And Earthly Family Amen xxxxxxx
I miss Patrick Swayze & his movies, lord he is missed !
Miss Patrick to this day. Incredible actor and person. So nice to see Lisa speak and see how she is doing.
There has got to be something done to be able to get early detection for this cancer that is a death sentence. I found out on Valentine's Day that my mother had pancreatic cancer and she passed away a month later. It was already to late when we found out for anything to be done. So I want to thank everyone out there who gives and donates their time to pancreatic cancer research this is needed so badly. So thank you, thank you, thank you.
❤❤
God Rest Your Earthly Mothers Soul Amen xxxxxxx Home To Heaven Amen xxxxxxx With Our Ever Growing Ever Loveing Heavenly Family Amen xxxxxxx
it's just beautiful that ind of love between Lisa and Parick , and it's a really good thing to do something against pancreatic cancer
He was one of my favorite actors RIP Patrick Swayze. ❤️
I am so very happy she has found someone to spend her later years with. She deserves happiness and love. Xxx
It must be hard for her current husband bc obv Patrick was the love of her life. He was my first crush and i remember those times when he had his breakthrough. He was just a darling. Sleep well.
Proof of how diverse and such a superb actor he was for me was his role in CITY of JOY.
If you have not seen it you must!
Patrick would be honoured that the love of his life kept happy with a new man she, 'll never forget but she is young enough to be given a new chapter. for her wellbeing😊😊😊
Gorgeous man n gone too soon. She still looks young. Loosing my mom to cancer 4 weeks ago is still hard .
I am so sorry for your loss
So sorry for the passing of your mum I hope you have good people around you to keep your spirits up 💖
So sweet. What a nice tribute
NBC, as part of the MSM doesn’t always have great or even good interviews but this one is a great interview. Lisa seems like a wonderful woman and her love for Patrick is amazing. RIP, gone too soon Patrick…not forgotten.
Patrick, despite not winning an Oscar, did win the hearts of millions of people... and that is worth more than any award, that is the greatest gift an artist can have, the love of people. He has it, that's why he will never be forgotten and his performances will always be remembered, RIP.
I loved your Chrasmatic Talented husband Patrick❤ as an actor and person. !!! You were a beautiful couple. ❤❤ Dancing 🕺Dancing 💃 Angels!!!❤❤
I think that is fantastic Lisa is doing something about the terrible disease that took her first husbands life and so many others too. Pancreatic cancer is a horrible way to die. Patrick fought hard to kick it too. God bless Lisa and Rest In Peace Patrick. 💔💔🙏🙏💕💕👍👍
Plus he wrote songs and sang/recorded them. "She's Like The Wind" was one of his.
Great song
What a wonderful lovely woman Lisa is!
Still missing Patrick. Great actor and apparently a great guy even though I never met him.
My Mother passed from Pancreatic Cancer in 1997. In her case her mind was still sharp but her body was just worn out. She was only 60.
You can see and hear just how hard it still is for her to talk about him even 13yrs later. Patrick was an awesome man, one whom I share a birthday with, and one whom I wish I had been privileged enough to meet at that Christmas party back in 1988. Rest in peace Patrick. I will always miss you so much. Thank you Lisa for sharing your love story with us and your Pancreatic Cancer network.
Can't be too hard. She moved on pretty quickly. Sorry, but I have no respect for this woman after the way she treated his family. Even if you don't like your husband's family they were his family.
@@kazkaz2212
Exactly. I don't know if it is true or not but I heard she treated Patrick badly towards the end. She also wasted no time re-marrying someone else to take care of her.
After he died, She also claimed his mother mistreated him. Patrick never mentioned that. I don't know if any of that is true though. Someone else claimed Lisa treated Patrick bad when he became ill.
@@tidusjecht9143 She also sold off all of his stuff after he died.
@@kazkaz2212
Wow. What a horrible person.
Bless her still clearly misses him greatly.
It was really 😔 to hear that Patrick Swayzee had ♋️ he was just incredible. My heart was broken 💔 😢 when I found out that he died.
Crushing on this guy since Orry Main in North and South. Wish he was still with us
I am so happy she remarried! And like a lot of us that were huge fans of Patrick , he is much loved and so missed
Amazing couple i must say
Sad what a actor rip Patrick s
wow... what a beautiful love story!!! This is my first time hearing Lisa speak..what an adorable person!!
Without doubt the best.
I recall that he smoked heavily, but whether it contributed, who knows. He was an amazing actor: as part of the volunteer network for an organization, the group wanted Patrick Swayze to be part of honorary celebrity spokespersons. One of the volunteers was able to speak with his people within about 10 minutes on the phone. I think volunteer ended up speaking with Patrick Swayze's mother but the funniest thing was minute-by-minute you'd see all the women organization inching up to the guy on the telephone just to see if he was able to get Patrick Swayze to show up. It was funny.😢
Smoking and alcohol.
Smocking is cancer causing for sure
I miss him❤❤❤
Very nice interview.
What a gorgeous woman!!! I’m sad that she lost her lovely husband 💔
A true love story 💘
Thank you Lisa, Cuddles from Canada🍁🇨🇦 🌺🌸🌹🇬🇧M
Traduction en français svp
After 5 years from Patrick’s death she married again. Poor Patrick.
fr
Poor you.
Not a fan of her but she obviously loved Patrick. I’m surprised she would get married again, personally I wouldn’t, but to each her own.
God bless you ❤
Lisa looks like she just lost him yesterday. He was the love of her life
🌹🌹🌹
“She’s like the wind!”
didnt she remarry after Patrick died?
Yes, soon after.
I still listen to "She's like the wind", I love that song
He had a really good voice. Great song!
My favourite song, and my favourite actor.
I would've loved to have seen him in a musical.
@@handsomeX only now in heaven can it happen with an unbelievable cast of singers/band, etc.
betty gordon, iowa fan
PS is one of my Fav Actor😢 Life is too short 😥😥😥
My husband was diagnosed and given 6 months the longest. 8 years later he died from pancreatic cancer. He was being treated at Dana Farber in Boston Ma and they had specialists come in from other parts of the world because he was still alive. He was the sweetest man and helped everyone. We were lucky to have his funeral a week before covid hit and over 300 people came to his funeral. 3 years have past and it is like it happened just last week. When we had his funeral on a Sat and on Monday everything closed down. I went home to an empty house after the funeral and spent the next 2 years alone only talking to people on the phone. I feel it made me stronger and not relying on others.
I did the same after my husband died - from another disease. I'm an extrovert but I seemed to lose that after he passed. I wish I knew you, we traveled the same road for two years in our homes all alone but both of us needed that to emerge stronger. I am now back to "normal." Pretty much.
-Come over an see Johnny Depp threatens to snuff
Amber Heard, on tape from trial in shorts
Good for you!👍🏻
When I was in hospital after my bypass a people magazine article came out about Patrick being in hospital. They asked him what he missed most about being out of hospital and he said “seeing his animals”. Then they asked what he looked forward most about getting out and he said “ seeing my animals”. I felt the same
That is my only regret about being old and aware that one day I will die is that I will not be able to get to know more animals. Each animal that I've known in my life has been an enrichment and a joy. I wish I had had an opportunity to get close with a horse, an elephant, a big cat.
@@katella me too. Someday. Ps 37 Isaiah 65
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Swayze in Kentucky, at an Arabian horse event. He was so charming, walking around, I remember he was wearing his cowboy boots. He was so dapper, and at the same time boyish....and so polite. They had aired the tv series....North and South, and he was telling us about a film he had finished, but he did not care for the title - DIRTY DANCING. Such a sweet guy. Good memory!!!
thanks for sharing this personal visit. yes, "dirty" dancing ...was interesting his comment to you.
betty gordon, iowa
Wow!!!
It took just a pinch. So glad you found one another. I lost my partner if 22 years to pancreatic cancer. She was 50. I donate every year to Lustgarten. Rest in peace Patrick and Mary.🙏🌹🌹
❤BEAUTIFUL GENTLEMAN!!!❤ R.I.P. PATRICK 🕊🌹❤ THANK YOU LISA AND TODAY SHOW 🥰🎼⚘🌹❤🌷💃⚘🙏🦋
My 48 year old cousin was in the hospital with COVID last December. While there, he was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer that had already spread to his liver. Less than 2 weeks later, he was gone. Prior to his hospital stay, the only symptom he had was a stomachache at Thanksgiving which he, of course, chalked up to overeating. It was only while in hospital when his abdomen began to fill with fluid that he was diagnosed and went downhill quickly. My poor aunt and uncle were still trying to wrap their heads around losing their older son unexpectedly in an accident, they then learned their second son was terminally ill. Such horrific disease. Its great to see Lisa continuing to raise awareness.

Your poor Aunt and Uncle 🥺🥺 I can't imagine their pain.
I am so sorry.
😊
Buddy is missed so much 😢 The Swayze family are all so caring and sincere ❤️ I had a relative of Patrick's who was my doctor in Texas during the 90s and I dated Patrick's cousin. 😊So happy to see Lisa smiling and living life. Patrick would not want her to be alone and sad.Much love to Lisa and continued prayers 🙏 ❤😊
Wow!
In the 80's I used to be told all the time that I resembled Patrick. I never really saw it BUT even strangers would stop me and tell me that often...I followed him because of that compliment and was crushed when he died.
I am now turning the age that Patrick was when he passed in May. 57 years old.
Lisa, I am so glad that you found love again and continue to honor your late husband. He is missed!
I remember him from his gymnastic days when he was young. We used to watch him do the rings (iron cross) and vault routines. He was amazingly talented even then. We all called him “Buddy”. He was a few years my senior so we didn’t go to school together. His mother owned a fabulous dance studio. They were very prominent in our Houston community.
I’ll never forget that Patrick acted in an entire series while fighting this horrible disease. He and Lisa had a great love story. She looks wonderful. I’m glad she’s ok.
What a great actor he is very missed!
Thank you Lisa for honoring your husband and paying it forward!!!
I loved what Lisa said "love comes from the same well". How eloquent and beautiful is that.
She's full of it.
So nice to see Patrick Swayze. Loved all his movies. Such a versatile talented actor. Dearly missed. Forever in our hearts. RIP Patrick Swayze. Dancing with the angels in heaven.
and teaching them a few moves they didn't have before ;) bettyg, iowa
Gosh 2009….14 years. What a beautiful couple. I’m such a Swayze fan! RIP.
Wonderful video it is nice to see his beautiful wife has lived so strong and vibrant since losing him. He was an amazing actor who brought so many beautiful characters to life in every incredible film he was ever in. I'm happy she was able to find love again many people never seem to recover the ability to love again after such a great loss. I pray a cure is found and that the directional of medical science will become only more impassioned to see people live full happy healthy lives.
by selling all his personal things and then the ranch and horses they loved lol
We all loved Patrick. He had such charisma and just a beautiful dancer. He must of been just an extremely good human to love this women for so many years. Still miss him so much.❤
Pancreatic cancer is a thief. Bless her heart. 💜
Patrick Swayze was the most talented guy, a true super hero. His passing made me cry. He began the awareness of pancreatic cancer.
My older sister died two years ago from pancreatic cancer from smoking. You can get it from smoking or without, prayers to all the families that have lost family from this disease
God Rest Your Earthly Sisters Soul Amen xxxxxxx Home To Heaven Amen xxxxxxx With Our Ever Growing Ever Loveing Heavenly Family Amen xxxxxxx
He was a chain smoker and drinker = he ruined his health
She sold his ranch right away and all his stuff and kicked his folks to the curb from a little house. She married again right away.
I thought she didn't remarry for three years.
According to Patrick's brother Donnie, Lisa was physically and mentally abusive to Patrick in his last days. She refused to let family and friends visit him and kept him prisoner. He died of cancer and a broken heart. So sad she's exploiting his memory for her own gain.
I also had heard about that. Guess she needs money.
Please don't make claims unless you are 100 percent sure they are true. :(
Sadly, I believe this to be true also.
Not true
Yes, I heard that too.
Patrick swayze is second-to-none but most of all just by hearing him speak he was so sincere 🙏🌹 rest in peace Patrick swayze you are truly missed
Patrick was my first love as a little girl, he was such a beautiful man and an amazing actor, and I've always been glad to know that he was also a good person. I've only ever heard good things about him, especially being from Louisiana, where he had his ranch for a while.
What a sweet person Lisa is. So happy she found love again, Patrick would want that.
Lisa abused him.. Google it.
How do you know what he would've wanted.
@January.......because those we love no matter what, we want to see them happy regardless.
@@January. because he truly loved her. That's how.
@@ianmeadows8719 yes! Sweet! Never. She sure didn't wait long. Nope.
I love Lisa. She keeps Patrick alive in our memories and continues his fight. My sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and fought a hard fight for 13 months. It’s such a terrible disease with an extremely low survival rate. I pray they find a cure soon and put an end to the suffering of so many people. 🙏🙏🙏

No, utube and dvds keep actors and actresses alive in our memories, imagine if we didn't have these places to go
She sold of his belongings right after he died, the ranch his family wanted it to be one a museum on his honor, she was jealous of his success, how sad because he loved her and she wasn't good at all..💔 She's still relevant because of him..🤷
He was a great dancer, that was his greatest gift.
Patrick was so handsome and talented! Miss him lots.
Pancreatic cancer has taken so many lives!!! I've had so many people that I've known and loved died from this terrible disease. I've got a plan to get EVERY cancer ribbon tattooed on my arm. I've already got the breast cancer ribbon on my arm. He fought longer than most ppl and honestly lived a lot longer than most people with that cancer. God Bless Lisa. I'll fight with you against every cancer
❤
How beautiful that she found love again.
I'm sure Patrick is smiling down from heaven 🥰🥰🥰
She is a fraud.
i always tear up at the end of Ghost when that song is playing and he says to her take it with you the love.
PanCan is the organization I always post for donations for my birthday on FB. I lost my mother in 1982 to the awful disease, 6 months after diagnosis. Her brother, my uncle, passed away a few years later from the same thing. There’s so so much work to be done to find better diagnostics and treatment for this insidious killer.
This woman is a B with a capital B, she treated this man in a shocking manner when he was diagnosed with cancer, she literally abandoned him, shocking.
His wife was abusive to him..horrible woman..
I loved Patrick so very much…I’m so sorry for your loss. He loved you endlessly we all know. I’m so grateful he had you as his lifetime companion and best friend. Best wishes on your new journey ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Unfortunate end for a talented man like Patrick Swayze. Money raised should not be given to Cancer Research but to the families of the cancer victims. Their are costs associated with the care of cancer patients and only covered by the families. Over the years too much money has been raised for Cancer Research. There is no malice or contempt here but the old saying,"Too much money too much time nothing to show for it."
too much money going to CEOs of charity orgs!
Do your research on Patrick’s widow. She did a lot of mean things that not only hurt him, but his family.
I can’t believe she’s 67 years old, she’s so beautiful!
❤
Wow! She sounds like a wonderful woman. Patrick was very lucky to be able to share his life with such a person.
No she was awful, treated Patrick seriously badly after diagnosed.
How do you know that? Are you a personal friend?
Wow.. this seemed very odd.
Rest In Peace Patrick ❤
why do you feel this was very odd? thx
I first became aware of Patrick in North & South miniseries on TV in the 80s. Been a fan ever since. Always seems odd to me that the thing that made people famous the most is rarely mentioned when credits are given to their successes.
I still tear up thinking of hus death.
My cousin and a best friend as well. Keep fighting Lisa and the society to end this dreadful cancer.
