A much healthier-looking Patrick Swayze has stepped out in Los Angeles in a cowboy hat and dark sunglasses.
New photos of Swayze, who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, show the actor has come a long way in the three months since he was last snapped looking gaunt and frail.
The 56-year-old Dirty Dancing star was even well enough to puff on a cigarette as he made his way to a fast food restaurant, British tabloids reported.
He looked to have gained weight but still had tubes — probably catheters for his chemotherapy — sticking out of his arms.
Swayze has been undergoing several aggressive treatments including an advanced form of radiotherapy known as the CyberKnife technique.
Under this treatment, Swayze has been zapped with hundreds of beams of radiation targeting inoperable tumours.
Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer early last year and has since been the subject of several reports claiming he was near death.
