Patrick Swayze has blasted the media for "inaccurate" reports about his health.

The Dirty Dancing star has had enough of false statements about his condition ever since he was diagnosed last year. Reports have claimed that his condition is worsening and that he is losing his battle with pancreatic cancer.

However, Swazye told People, "It's amazing to me that the tabloids such as the National Enquirer print such negative stories about me and my health when there are so many positive things going on in my life right now. I've started a new chemotherapy and, once again, I am one of the lucky ones with pancreatic cancer that is responding well to the treatment.

"I hope in the future, the press will think twice about printing inaccuracies and painting an unpleasant picture when I have so much to be thankful for at this time."
