uring a routine abdominal scan, doctors had discovered a tumor growing in his pancreas. While a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is often tantamount to a swiftly executed death sentence, a biopsy revealed that Jobs had a rare - and treatable - form of the disease. If the tumor were surgically removed, Jobs' prognosis would be promising: The vast majority of those who underwent the operation survived at least ten years.

But he remained defiant, adding: ‘There's more I want to do. Lots more. I want to last until they find a cure.'

Swayze told ABC television's Barbara Walters that his year-long battle with cancer had put him 'through hell' while he pushed on with his new TV series.

He also owned up to his fear: 'Yeah, I'm scared. Yeah, I'm angry. Yeah, I'm (asking), 'Why me?'

Swayze first realised his health was failing a year ago as he celebrated the start of 2008 with his wife Lisa Niemi, and found it painful to drink champagne.

Doctors found that Swayze had a malignant tumour in his pancreas. As it had spread to his liver, he was told surgery was not an option.

A spokesperson for the star was unavailable for comment on Wednesday night.

But a family friend said: 'He is touched by the flood of support from fans all over the world.

Dr Judy Kuriansky, a leading clinical psychologist who has not treated Swayze, said: 'When you are as determined an individual as Swayze, you want to have some control over how you spend your last days. I am sure he will summon every last vestige of strength to fulfill his desire.'

The news comes as it was announced that Swazye and his wife are penning a memoir of his life.
