A powerful new pill is giving patients hope in their fight against pancreatic cancer. Doctors at Dana-Farber Cancer Center say it’s a game-changing breakthrough.

“It wasn’t severe, but I noticed it becoming more and more constant,” said Debby Orcutt.

That constant pain in Debby’s abdomen forced the 68-year-old to go to the ER where x-rays showed what she feared most.

“I knew it was bad,” said Debby. “They didn’t want to say it right away, but I knew it was bad.”

Debby was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Only three percent of patients survive five years.

“I just came in and started crying like a baby,” said Debby’s husband Ron Orcutt.

Debby and her family were devastated

“I had no idea how much pain they were going through. That’s what breaks my heart,” said Debby.
