Patrick Swayze looking great, tells photographers Im a miracle, dude.

55 year-old Patrick Swayze has put on some weight and is looking good as he battles pancreatic cancer. He has undergone experimental “cyberknife” surgery and was thought to be gaunt and just hanging in there but these latest photos may prove the speculation wrong. He seems to be in excellent spirits and not as thin as he was at his last photographed outing at a Lakers playoff game in late May. Swayze gave the paparazzi at LAX this Sunday upbeat answers to their questions about his health despite the fact that he had to take off his belt and boots for security:

When asked how he was feeling the actor said “He was cookin'” and when asked about his health he replied “I’m a miracle dude, I don’t know why.”

He looks damn good, and it’s great to hear he’s doing so well. Swayze is filming a new show for A&E called The Beast, in which he plays an FBI agent who takes a new partner under his wing. He was flying off to work on the show.

Swayze lives on a ranch in New Mexico with his wife of 23 years, Lisa Niemi, 52. He gave an update to People Magazine in late May stating he was responding well to treatment at Stanford University Medical Center and that he was enjoying Spring and the baby calves that were being born on his farm. He may see many more seasons and babies if he continues on the path he’s on. You look great, Patrick, and we are so relieved to see you doing well.
