Re: Is Anyone Watching the Patrick Swayze Interview on ABC?
What a great interview - it was such a revealing and personal look into his struggle and their lives. I have to say, I'm so sad to hear that he is still smoking. After the doctors told him that is likely the cause of the cancer -- it is just sad to know that he can't quit now -- and it is even more upsetting to know that if he had quit years ago he'd probably be healthy right now  It is such a strong addiction, apparently. I feel so bad for him and his wife! I'm sure if he could go back he would have never started smoking.

I agree and I understand what you're saying but to be honest, when he said he couldn't and explained why, as crazy as it sounds I understood where he was coming from.
I get that he just wants to focus on getting better... His chances of dying from cancer are far greater than from smoking at this point. He said if he beats this he'll quit.

I didn't watch it but he said he can't quit now b/c he's so addicted? That's sad - I guess he's too addicted.
I saw the preview with his wife getring emotional we thought it looked like it would be hard to watch.

Well, basically he said right now he's got to focus on beating the cancer and that quitting smoking is hard and unless he can give that his all he can't really quit.
He said the minute he's declared in remission he'd quit.
As an on again off again smoker, I can respect this and understand what he's saying.
Quitting is really hard and yes, you would think cancer would scare you into quitting but I think he's so consumed with beating it that he doesn't want to detract from that for anything.
He did say he cut back significantly. I'm sure with feeling like crap from treatment, he's not smoking all that much.

I can try to understand where he is coming from too... I have never been addicted to anything - never smoked - that is why I am not saying "omg I can't believe he hasn't quit". I am saying it is sad b/c, well, it is... It is horrible that an addiction like that probably caused this. I can't even IMAGINE what being addicted to something that strongly must be like. I feel for him - as I feel for anyone who is battling something like that. Not to mention battling the cancer - it's all just a tragic situation.
Question - I either missed it or they didn't mention it... do they have kids? I was going back and fourth and missed some parts.

No they do not have any children
As for him still smoking. I can't understand it. He said he wants to concentrate on beating the cancer, yet he still continues to smoke, which certainly isn't helping him beat the cancer.
I'm not judging him. It's not my life. I'm just saying I don't get it.

Thanks! Did they touch on why they don't have kids -- was that a decision they made? Or could they not have them?

I don't think they touched on why. But they did mention, they discussed adoption in the past. But also didn't discuss why they didn't follow through with it.
