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.

Good for you!👍🏻
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.

PS is one of my Fav Actor😢 Life is too short 😥😥😥
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.

Wow!!!
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."💜

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.🙏🌹🌹
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 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 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. ❤
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 Swayze was the most talented guy, a true super hero. His passing made me cry. He began the awareness of pancreatic cancer.
I loved what Lisa said "love comes from the same well". How eloquent and beautiful is that.
She's full of it.
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.
😊
Gosh 2009….14 years. What a beautiful couple. I’m such a Swayze fan! RIP.
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’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!!!
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!
❤BEAUTIFUL GENTLEMAN!!!❤ R.I.P. PATRICK 🕊🌹❤ THANK YOU LISA AND TODAY SHOW 🥰🎼⚘🌹❤🌷💃⚘🙏🦋
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.
How beautiful that she found love again.
I'm sure Patrick is smiling down from heaven 🥰🥰🥰
She is a fraud.
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
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.💗
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.❤
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.
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
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
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.
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 ?
You can feel the love and respect between them.
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.
Patrick was so handsome and talented! Miss him lots.
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.
He was a great dancer, that was his greatest gift.
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?
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.
I can’t believe she’s 67 years old, she’s so beautiful!
❤
I loved Patrick's Movies . So Talented. Obviously he loved Lisa . RIP Mr. Swayze
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 ♥️♥️♥️♥️
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
❤
Such a beautiful man and great actor. I have always been such a big fan of Patrick Swayze. R.I.P Patrick
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

What a beautiful person .. Cancer has taken so many special people ..but we remember the joy they brought us❤
Patrick Swayze & Lisa Niemi Swayzes love story is the kind that all couples deserve to have IMO
So happy to see Lisa doing well and continuing the fight for pancreatic cancer. Both Patrick and Lisa are two of my favorite people. So glad she has love to live out the rest of her life.
Lisa couldn't wait to get married again
@@paulinemuthena6545 She treated Patrick in a shocking manner once he was diagnosed, l don’t like her at all.
@@Enlightenment246 where is the proof?
@@paulinemuthena6545
patrick died 9.14.09; lisa remarried may 2014; 3.5+ years later.
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.
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.
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.
We all loved Patrick Swayze I remember watching Roadhouse the night before my son was supposed to be born we named him Dalton after Patrick Swayze's character in Roadhouse he's 28 now Patrick Swayze's wife Lisa is such a down-to-earth person in this video it's such a tragedy we lost a wonderful actor like Patrick rest in peace Patrick Swayze
My cousin and a best friend as well. Keep fighting Lisa and the society to end this dreadful cancer.
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.
The best way to honor our loved one's life is to enjoy life and honor their memory!
Bravo to Lisa!
I absolutely loved Patrick 😢! His wife is so magnificent and there love story unparalleled! Love how she talks about him still and has someone to give her love to today!
I miss Patrick Swayze & his movies, lord he is missed !
We all love Patrick ❤ Beautiful,amazing very
talented actor...we miss him😢
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.
❤❤

Love hearing her talk so lovingly about Patrick❤ she’s still so beautiful! It’s great she is continuing that fight
I lost an aunt and cousin to pancreatic cancer, My aunt lived 2 months and my cousin lived 5 years after diagnosis. I miss them both.
Miss Patrick to this day. Incredible actor and person. So nice to see Lisa speak and see how she is doing.
thank you lisa for remembering patrick so glad you found love again i miss patrick so much he was a big fav God bless you
Love Patrick Swayze , miss him . Watch Road House all the time ❤, all his movies 👍
I ❤ Patrick Swayze he was a Fabulous dancer, actor "Ghost" & "Dirty Dancing" are two of my favorite movies of his Lisa is a wonderful wife sending 🙏🏾 Rest in Peace Patrick Swayze
So sweet. What a nice tribute
Pancreatic cancer is a thief. Bless her heart. 💜
My little brother died 8 months after diagnosed with same cancer. 2 weeks before 60th birthday. RIP Patrick.🙏 Your wife is honoring your life. ❤
Love the way she stood by Patrick thru everything. All the best Miemi❤
He was one of my favorite actors RIP Patrick Swayze. ❤️
Beautiful sincere woman ❤
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.
Great actor, always remember his face and roles.
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.
So happy for Lisa. I think about some times and wonder how she is going since Patrick passed. So relieved to hear she has found love ❤️ again.
I loved his dance with his wife to Whitney Houston's song! Just beautifully meaningful!
Love never dies. 😢💜
You can give love in many ways, not running to another lover.
I just came back from Purple Stride in PA. It was an incredible inspiring event!
I hope Lisa is a good person. How can I forget what Patrick's family said about her neglect of him during his illness? I pray that this woman is genuine.
I was thinking about that. I hope she didn't neglect him either .
@@Nicoletta13❤
Patrick Swayze was a beautiful man , he is missed , he was my heart throb !
Lisa a beautiful lady❤
Loved Patrick.
@@kbo730 Love him, she’s an awful woman and treated him very badly after he was diagnosed.
@@Enlightenment246 I didn’t know that!!!! I’ve never really liked her, she seemed a bit jealous or something. Couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but there was something about her.
What a beautiful Lady! I wish her so much happiness after the loss of dear Mr. Swayze😊
Such a good cause, lost my Dad to this cancer.
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 💖
We all need to help with pancreas cancer. Stand up for cancer
Thank you my Favorite VODAFONE, love you , you are so amazing. Love this Patrick SWaszy n his lovely singing. God bless you Abundantly.
Exactly. This woman is marvelous.
I lost my mama 21 days after diagnosis of PC. She was only 58 years old. We need to have earlier detection!! 💜
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 may his memory live forever in our hearts 💜
I am so very happy she has found someone to spend her later years with. She deserves happiness and love. Xxx
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!
God bless them both. Patrick is surely missed to this day. I'm glad she is able to move on, with his blessing.❤
Im happy this woman find healing ❤ RIP Patrick 🙏🏼 We all still LOVE YOU!
I love Patrick he was a great actor. Am proud of his wife for keeping his name a life.
Oh thank you for having Lisa and thank you Lisa for coming! I was just thinking about her/you and wondering how you are doing. ❤
Plus he wrote songs and sang/recorded them. "She's Like The Wind" was one of his.
Great song
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. 💔💔🙏🙏💕💕👍👍
I loved his work in the mini series North and South, he was amazing!
What a positive lady. God bless her
he was so lucky to have her. What a beautiful woman inside & out and an AMAZING dancer too. Hope she's happy ❤❤
Oh ok she's fabulous, I appreciate her💜
É magnifico, simplesmente maravilhoso.❤
