Patrick Swayze has begun saying goodbye to friends and family after learning that the pancreatic cancer he’s been fighting since last January has spread to his liver.

The Dirty Dancing star is preparing himself for death, a tabloid report claims.

“Patrick recently got word that the cancer had spread to his liver and that is what his doctors said would begin the countdown to the end,” an unnamed source tells the National Enquirer.

“Patrick knew it was coming because he was suffering increased weakness. At times, he was so weak that he could barely walk without feeling faint. Sometimes he feels out of breath and has to sit down.”

Patrick, who is 56, told his wife of 33 years, Lisa, and his brother Donny that he doesn’t have long to live.

“Lisa phoned Donny in Los Angeles and told him he need to come to Chicago, where Patrick has been filming TV show The Beast. She was crying and scared Donny to death,” the mole squeals.

“Donny got the impression his brother was already on his deathbed because Lisa was saying Patrick wanted to say goodbye. She couldn’t stop crying.”

The beloved actor has been undergoing pioneering Cyberknife radiotherapy at California’s Stamford University Medical Center since March.

Despite undergoing “hell on wheels” chemo treatments, Patrick continued work on his latest project, FBI drama The Beast, which will premiere on A&E early next year.
