‘Jeopardy!’ host Alex Trebek has been struggling with “deep, deep sadness” since his cancer diagnosis but says he’s drawing strength from his supportive fans, during an interview with Good Morning America., told GMA host Robin Roberts how the ongoing treatment has been affected him.
"What I’m not used to [is] dealing with the surges that come on suddenly of deep, deep sadness and it brings tears to my eye,” he said Wednesday. “Chemo affects people in different ways and people have to understand that, and that there’s nothing wrong with saying ‘Hey, I’m really depressed today and I don’t know why,” Trebek said.
“My oncologist tells me I’m doing well even though I don’t always feel it. I’ve had kidney stones, I’ve had ruptured discs, so I’m used to dealing with pain,” Trebek said.
BTW, he said this is a result of chemotherapy.
Alex trebek is a compleat gentleman. I pray for him every day.
Great to see such courage from Alex Trebek in terms of being so open about his challenges; bringing to light things we don’t often talk about. That guy has a great heart.
Who cares
