Alex Trebek from Jeopardy

[braggin]

Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is apparently one of those cancers that they don't even usually find until it is too late. I wonder what the symptoms of it are. Alex Trebek is so positive and upbeat, though, he makes it hard to think he isn't going to make it, but the odds are, he won't.

So sad a terrible disease

[dsosnowski06]

Alex Trebek  deserves all the prayer and love of the country has been a upstanding person and a example of a great person

[ghunter]

So sorry to hear about his cancer but he is a fighter and with God you can beat anything.  I pray he continue to fight, my brother die ofthat cancer.

I find it amazing that he plans on working through treatment while beating this Cancer thing.  That's an amazing attitude to have.  My father passed away from Pancreatic cancer... the treatments were horrid.  Praying for Alex.  Praying for medical advancements for all affected by Cancer and the side effects from treatments.

Hope the best for him.

sad to hear, brave the way he told about it.

There are no symptoms until it reaches about stage 4.  This is why it is usually a death sentence.

Your negative attitude is something he does not need.  I remember a church I use to attend and this woman asked for prayers for a woman that I think had cancer.  So they pray and I swear she stands up and says "well she is gonna die anyway."  I was like then why did you ask anybody to pray for her.  If I am ever sick please don't pray for me.

Attitude makes a lot of difference and so does not believing.  There have been people, very few, but there have been people who have beat this disease.  He very well could be one of them.  He has a strong faith in God.  God very well could use this well known man to show what He can do.

I agree. Just because an illness is considered deadly doesn’t mean you should seriously doubt anyone with the illness will live much longer. We all will die, but we have to keep our life expectancies maximal so we can live until it’s really supposed to be our time to die.

True.  Alex has a great outlook.  If he was saying "oh I am gonna die, this will kill me" then yeah he would probably die pretty soon.  Your words are very powerful.

There was a woman who worked at our local Walmart who was having surgery.  There was an excellent chance she would make it thru the surgery.  But all she said from the time she found out she needed surgery until the day she went in was "I will die.  I won't make it through the surgery".  AND.... she didn't.

I saw that video today that he made.  He has a good attitude and is planning on fighting instead of just giving up.  I admire him for his attitude and it will go a long way during his illness to get him through it.

That is reallyo too bad.  Pancreatic cancer has such a low survival rate.  I hope he can hold on until his contract is over.

That is 3 years.  If he makes it that long he needs to just live to be an old man. lol  He said he couldn't die because he had 3 years left on his contract. haha

I am just curious as to how he can keep doing the show and go thru the treatments.  They are pretty rough.
Maybe they will work with him.

Has anyone else ever hosted Jeopardy?  I could not imagine if he no longer hosted the show someone else doing the show.  Or liking it.
