Whoopi Goldberg says her friend and co-star Patrick Swayze is doing good. Patrick has been in a battle over pancreatic cancer and was seen looking very thin. Whoopi says he is kicking butt, despite those claims and wishes people would stop talking about it.

More pictures of Patrick and Whoopi after the jump…

Whoopi and Patrick filmed the movie Ghost back in 1990 and remained friends since then.  Demi Moore also starred int he award winning flick.  Whoopi talks to the media about her friend via UPI:

“He’s kicking butt,” Goldberg told Usmagazine.com Monday. “And, you know, he’s sick. And he, like the rest of us, doesn’t know when it’s going to happen — because it will happen, that he is going to go — but he doesn’t know when or where. … His attitude is, why wait for it to happen? So he’s busy as hell.”

I think Patrick has the right idea.  And I’m glad Whoopi spoke of it in a positive light.  Out of respect for Patrick, we’re only publishing pictures from a few years ago, when he was healthy.  Good luck!
