The Dirty Dancing star is said to reveal all in the ABC special Patrick Swayze: The Truth tomorrow night.

Last March, doctors discovered that the beloved actor’s cancer was in Stage 4 and had already spread to his liver. He has lived for nearly a year.

“I tried to have champagne, and it would be like pouring acid, you know, on an open wound.”

“My indigestion issues got gigantic and constant. And then I started thinking, I’m getting skinny. I dropped about 20 pounds in the blink of an eye. And then when you see it in the mirror, when all of a sudden, you pull your eyes down and the bottom of your eyes go yellow and jaundice sets in — then you know something’s wrong.”

“I started doing a little research and started realizing this is not pretty. This is not a good thing.”

Nonetheless, the Ghost star is preparing for the debut of his new FBI drama The Beast on A&E.

Last July, Patrick began a grueling schedule of five months of filming in Chicago, oftern working 12 hours or more each day.

“I think everybody thought I was out of my mind, you know, thinking I’m gonna pull off a TV show,” he says.

“What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what’s thrown at me, I can take it. And I can keep going.”
