Patrick Swayze’s widow has signed up to help the seriously and terminally-ill as part of a regular TV spot. Lisa Niemi, who nursed her husband through his final days as he battled pancreatic cancer, has been added to the Lifechangers team on “Extra.” Her first assignment was to help a young woman fighting the blood disease MDS, advising her of the questions to ask doctors to make sure she received the best care available. Niemi urges the sick to prepare their questions in advance, take notes during doctor visits and be vocal about any changes.
