Ok, but seriously, this is sad news.
Oddly enough, over the years Trebek has been exposed to a giant pool of brilliant people who were guests on Jeopardy!
So why not put out a blanket request to them, asking if they know of promising experimental treatments for S4 Pancreatic Cancer?
At any given time there are a huge number of experimental treatments out there, that never “make the papers”, and take many years to produce a practical product. Even if they work very well.
And he’s 78. Prayers for him.
I’ll take Recovery for $1000, Alex.
Damn. Trebek is a national treasure. And even with cancer, he’s still sexy as hell at 78.
Has People magazine ever named him Sexiest Man Alive? If not, why not? They’d better hurry.
Plenty of alternative ways to extend life when diagnosed stage 4 cancer even and have it be quality life. Just have to be open to changing foods, stress, taking supplements or juicing/smoothies.
Praying Alex surprises many doctors and lives well beyond the normal for prognosis with quality life as many others diagnosed stage 4 pancratic and various other forms of cancer have done. Sometimes it the treatments that kill the patient weakening them and they can’t fight any more, seen that with many family and friends.
I hope Alex isn't planning on going the conventional route. That "cure" is worse than the disease.
Sad news. At least he has some advance warning and time to put his affairs in order, both worldly and spiritual. My Godfather got the same diagnosis and was gone within a month.
I love the show and love Alex.
Big Prayers going up for him and his family.
We just buried a beloved coworker who lost his battle with pancreatic and liver cancer.
His funeral was last Saturday.
Forty seven years old with a wife and two kids.
I pray for Mr. Trebek’s recovery and healing. It’s a terrible way to go.
