His physician, George Fisher, said Swayze will continue the same therapy at Stanford because of his positive response.
Swayze, 55, revealed his diagnosis last month.
The couple stated, "We can't help but feel that all the prayers, meditations and good thoughts sent his way by everyone has made a difference. Thank you!"
