LOS ANGELES - “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek, one of the most recognizable faces in U.S. television, has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, he said in a video message on Wednesday. He vowed to beat the disease despite its low survival rate.
“Now normally, the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m going to fight this, and I’m going to keep working,” Trebek said. The low survival rate is attributed to the fact fewer than 20 percent of pancreatic tumors are confined to the pancreas at the time of diagnosis. “Jeopardy!” is watched by 23 million viewers a week in the U.S. and Canada, making it the most watched quiz show in that television market. Trebek has hosted more than 7,000 episodes.
He’s 79 yrs with loads of $$ to make him very comfortable.Many younger than him and less fortunate will surrender to this killer.
What a silly headline. As if anyone would not vow to fight the big C? 🙄
He has stage IV cancer. No one 'fights' stage IV. It's simply a matter of how long you live. Stop with the battle euphemisms & inspiration porn around cancer.
With his money he will have access to treatments only wealthy can afford. Good for him but underscores how unbalanced healthcare is in the wealthiest country in history of the world.
☹️Would not wish that on anyone. If it’s advanced... 🤦🏻♀️
😪😪😪
I'll take Classy Game Show Hosts for 1000, Alex.
Or they can just release the cure that only the 1% have
