Patrick Swayze is sharing his great news with fans, that he is in fact responding well to his cancer treatment.

The 'Dirty Dancing' star sent a letter to US People Magazine saying...

"Thought I'd give you guys a little update. Lisa and I have been back and forth from New Mexico enjoying the arrival of spring and new baby calves. This past weekend, we spent a fun time with friends in Reno for Lisa's birthday, where I took her jewellery shopping at Kenny G & Company and (we) were able to find her something really special and much deserved! In the meantime, I am continuing treatment at Stanford and the great news is I continue to respond well."

Swayze announced he had been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in March, and has since then been undergoing treatment at the Stanford University Medical Center.

On behalf of everyone at MTV we wish Patrick the best of luck with the rest of his treatment...
