HOLLYWOOD - Patrick Swayze's elderly mother has paid tribute to the star, insisting he "doesn't deserve" his battle with pancreatic cancer.
The Dirty Dancing actor was recently revealed to be suffering from the potentially life-threatening disease. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy--and tabloid The National Enquirer, which broke the story, claims he has just weeks to live.
Admitting her fears for her 55-year-old son, Patsy Swayze, 81, says, "He doesn't deserve to get this. He just doesn't deserve it.
"He's got such a big heart. He's been such a good and generous and thoughtful person. It breaks my heart to know he's suffering. But he bears it and he's determined to beat this. He's hanging in there and getting the best treatment he can."
