Hospitalized Patrick Swayze "doing fine"

Washington, Jan 14 (ANI): Cancer-stricken Patrick Swayze, who checked himself into a hospital after being struck down with pneumonia, is now 'doing fine'.

Patrick, who is also battling pancreatic cancer, is currently under observation.

Although Patrick is not keeping up to it, he seems to be very composed and positive.

"He sounds really upbeat and positive. We don't talk about illness when I talk to him. He hasn't even been there a week," Contactmusic quoted Patrick's mum Patsy, as saying.

Swayze's hospital stay came just two days after his first post-diagnosis interview with broadcaster Barbara Walters aired on U.S. TV. (ANI)
