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.

PS is one of my Fav Actor😢 Life is too short 😥😥😥
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. 😊
😢
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.🙏🌹🌹
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
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 loved what Lisa said "love comes from the same well". How eloquent and beautiful is that.
She's full of it.
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!!!
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. ❤
Patrick Swayze was the most talented guy, a true super hero. His passing made me cry. He began the awareness of pancreatic cancer.
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..🤷
❤BEAUTIFUL GENTLEMAN!!!❤ R.I.P. PATRICK 🕊🌹❤ THANK YOU LISA AND TODAY SHOW 🥰🎼⚘🌹❤🌷💃⚘🙏🦋
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
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!
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.❤
What a great actor he is very missed!
Thank you Lisa for honoring your husband and paying it forward!!!
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 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 still see how much Lisa loved him. I admire her strength. She's beautiful. Patrick is looking down on Lisa. God bless her.
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!
You can feel the love and respect between them.
Gosh 2009….14 years. What a beautiful couple. I’m such a Swayze fan! RIP.
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.
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.
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
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.💗
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.
How beautiful that she found love again.
I'm sure Patrick is smiling down from heaven 🥰🥰🥰
She is a fraud.
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 ?
Patrick was so handsome and talented! Miss him lots.
I loved Patrick's Movies . So Talented. Obviously he loved Lisa . RIP Mr. Swayze
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 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 ♥️♥️♥️♥️
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?
What a beautiful person .. Cancer has taken so many special people ..but we remember the joy they brought us❤
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.
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
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.
He was a great dancer, that was his greatest gift.
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.
Patrick Swayze & Lisa Niemi Swayzes love story is the kind that all couples deserve to have IMO
We all love Patrick ❤ Beautiful,amazing very
talented actor...we miss him😢
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!
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
❤
Miss Patrick to this day. Incredible actor and person. So nice to see Lisa speak and see how she is doing.
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.
My cousin and a best friend as well. Keep fighting Lisa and the society to end this dreadful cancer.
I miss Patrick Swayze & his movies, lord he is missed !
Love hearing her talk so lovingly about Patrick❤ she’s still so beautiful! It’s great she is continuing that fight
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
The best way to honor our loved one's life is to enjoy life and honor their memory!
Bravo to Lisa!
I can’t believe she’s 67 years old, she’s so beautiful!
❤
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
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
What a lovely lady. You can see why he wrote ‘She’s like the wind’ about her. I’ve also just seen the MTV awards video of Lisa & Patrick dancing to Whitney’s ‘All the man that I need’ - so beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. I recommend you watch it if you haven’t already.
I Grew up watching Swayze films & after Ghost & Point break he was my hero man! So sad we lost him wayyyyy too early 🩵🩵🩵 RIP bro! 😢
He was one of my favorite actors RIP Patrick Swayze. ❤️
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.
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
Love the way she stood by Patrick thru everything. All the best Miemi❤
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.
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.
What a beautiful Lady! I wish her so much happiness after the loss of dear Mr. Swayze😊
I am so very happy she has found someone to spend her later years with. She deserves happiness and love. Xxx
Im happy this woman find healing ❤ RIP Patrick 🙏🏼 We all still LOVE YOU!
Great actor, always remember his face and roles.
I love Patrick he was a great actor. Am proud of his wife for keeping his name a life.
I loved his dance with his wife to Whitney Houston's song! Just beautifully meaningful!
Exactly. This woman is marvelous.
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.
Beautiful sincere woman ❤
So sweet. What a nice tribute
he was so lucky to have her. What a beautiful woman inside & out and an AMAZING dancer too. Hope she's happy ❤❤
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.
I just came back from Purple Stride in PA. It was an incredible inspiring event!
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.
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.❤
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.
❤❤

Sorry for your loss rest in peace Patrick Swayze
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 💖
God rest him in peace we miss you 😢😢
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.
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❤
What a positive lady. God bless her
Still missing Patrick. Great actor and apparently a great guy even though I never met him.
Hé was such a great actor❤sad when he died, good to see him remembered and a good thing what his widow is doing
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. 💔💔🙏🙏💕💕👍👍
