Patrick Swayze’s inoperable pancreatic cancer has spread to his lungs, The National Enquirer reported on Wednesday.

Patrick was hospitalized last Friday for pneumonia; it was at this time that doctors discovered the cancer the Ghost star has bravely battled for more than a year had reached his lungs and is now interfering with his breathing, the tabloid claims.

The latest heartbreaking development in the beloved actor’s ongoing medical saga is described as a “very bad sign” by Dr. Herman Kattlove, a former spokesman for the American Cancer Society (ACS): “What may have appeared to be pneumonia was most likely cancer that spread to the lymphatic system and the lungs. Even with another round of chemotherapy, he has less than a 10 percent chance of recovering.”

Patrick Swayze premieres in television’s new FBI drama The Beast on A&E January 15.
