London
(ANI):
American
actor
Patrick
Swayze,
who
is
suffering
from
pancreatic
cancer,
is
said
to
be
undergoing
experimental
treatment
to
save
his
life.
The
55-year-old
'Dirty
Dancing'
star
is
"determined
to
beat" the
illness,
and
is
enduring
weekly
chemotherapy
combined
with
a
new
drug,
according
to
family
members.
"It
breaks
my
heart
to
know
he's
suffering," the
Sun
quoted
his
mother
Patsy
as
saying.
"But
he
bears
it.
He's
hanging
in
there
and
getting
the
best
treatment
he
can.
He
doesn"t
deserve
to
get
this.
He's
got
such
a
big
heart,"
she
added.
Patrick
lives
with
his
wife
Lisa
on
their
ranch
in
New
Mexico.
His
pals
reported
that
his
weight
has
plummeted,
leaving
him
gaunt
and
pale,
following
the
treatment
sessions
at
California's
Stanford
University.
