By Ramchander
Patrick
Swayze
the
legendary
actor
was
one
of
the
foremost
supporters
for
'Dancing
with
the
Stars".
One
year
after
the
death
of
her
Dirty
Dancing
costar
Jennifer
Grey
fondly
remembered
her
talented
co
star.
Jennifer
Grey
is
going
to
be
a
part
of
the
dance
reality
TV
show
as
it
makes
its
way
into
Season
11.
In
a
recent
interview,
Grey
said,
“Patrick
was
one
of
the
most
fearless
people
I"ve
ever
met." Patrick
lost
his
battle
with
pancreatic
cancer
in
September
14,
2009.
Jennifer
revealed
that
she
was
herself
diagnosed
with
an
early
stage
of
cancer
about
a
year
back
but
now
she
is
in
perfect
shape.
“When
I
first
decided
to
consider
doing
the
show,
I
went
to
get
my
neck
checked,"
said
the
star,
she
was
referring
to
a
neck
injury
caused
by
a
nasty
car
accident
in
1987.
The
actress
explained
that
her
surgeons
noticed
a
lump
in
her
neck
and
decided
to
remove
it.
After
a
half
of
the
tumor
was
removed
it
was
found
to
be
cancerous
in
nature,
so
the
doctors
decided
to
remove
the
entire
tumorous
growth.
Jennifer,
who
has
joined
the
small
group
of
cancer
survivors,
said
that
Patrick
was
a
beacon
of
hope
even
when
he
was
dealing
with
the
dangers
of
pancreatic
cancer.
Jennifer
claims
that
Swayze's
fight
has
inspired
her
to
compete
at
'Dancing
with
the
Stars'.
Let"s
hope
Patrick"s
brave
battle
becomes
an
inspiration
to
many
other
cancer
patients.
