Whoopi Goldberg: Talks about Patrick Swayze's health

Former "Ghost" co-star, Whoopi Goldberg has told people that Patrick Swayze is doing well.

Whoopi, the moderator on ABC's "The View," and also a friend of Swayze, added that she spoke to Patrick, who has been suffering from pancreatic cancer, last night. Acording to her Patrick is giving his all for a host of projects.

Regarding her friend Whoopi told her fellow "View" ladies, "He's actually quite good," "He's got this show on - 'The Beast,' which is on A&E... and you know, he's working his tail off."

Whoopi continued that Patrick is quite very aware of his illness. However he is not letting it stop him from living his life.

She said, "He's sick, there's no getting around it, but like all of us, we all know at some point we're gonna die, we don't know when." "We're not absolutely sure... But as it turns out, there's no expiration date on his a**. He doesn't know when he's going so he's just going forward. He's gone back into training for 'The Beast' 'cause you know, this show he's running and jumping and rolling and doing all kinds of... it's crazy."

According to Whoopi, Patrick is also busy on his manuscript and his ranch. She said, "He's in very, very good spirits," Whoopi added. "He's in the middle of writing a book with [his wife] Lisa [Niemi], which is kind of great. He's got all this land where he is right now and he's been ... making sure all the new growth that needs to happen on his property happens."

Amongst all his pursuits it is the physical activity for "The Beast" that has impressed Whoopi the most.

She added, "The training is what got me," she said.

However she was not sure if she could believe one of the comments he made.

She laughed by saying, "I don't know if he's teasing, he said he's shaved his head," "I was all, 'You gotta send me a picture.' He's good. So whatever you're reading, just know that he's kicking butt... He's living in the moment and... doing one day at a time."
