Newton-John sends love to Swayze

Olivia Newton-John has sent a message of hope to cancer sufferer Patrick Swayze.

The actress - who has survived breast cancer - was saddened to hear of Swayze's battle with pancreatic cancer.

The 'Dirty Dancing' star, 55, confirmed he is suffering from the potentially life-threatening disease earlier this month (Mar08) and is currently undergoing chemotherapy.

And Newton-John has sent her best wishes for a swift recovery.

She says: "I spent some time with Patrick and his horses. We rode his beautiful Arab horses together - I'll send him a personal message, but I'd just like to send my love right now."
