This news should surely make Patrick Swayze fans want to get up and dance.

The 55-year-old actor, who announced back in March that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy, appeared healthy and in good spirits as he made his way through LAX airport Sunday to catch a flight to Chicago.

"I'm a miracle dude, I don't know why," the Dirty Dancing star told photographers.

The actor was en route to the Windy City where he's set to work on his new A&E drama, The Beast.
