Patrick Swayze is close to death with pancreatic cancer.
The 55-year-old actor, most famous for roles in Dirty Dancing and Ghost, has as little as five weeks to live.
The disease, which was diagnosed in January, has already spread to his other vital organs.
For the past month, Swayze has undergone radical chemotherapy at Stanford University Medical Center..
Swayze and his 51-year-old wife Lisa Niemi, who both have pilot's licences, have been flying themselves to the center for the past month where the actor has so far received three sessions of chemotherapy.
"Patrick was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short, they held out little hope for a cure. Doctors are no longer optimistic. It's time to start praying for a miracle."
The source added: "He looks terrible. We don't think he's going to make it. Patrick's family and friends are so grief-stricken they can barely contain their tears and anger."
Sufferers of pancreatic cancer typically have a survival rate of less than five per cent, but as the cancer has spread around Swayze's body, he has an even lower chance of beating the disease.
Swayze and his Texan actress wife of 32 years, Lisa, have a ranch in New Mexico and a home in Los Angeles.
