Alex Trebek from Jeopardy
« on: March 06, 2019, 03:09:00 pm »
He has just revealed he has Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer.  That is probably one of the worst cancers with little hope of beating it.

I was so shocked to learn that he has been diagnosed with cancer.  Prayers for him and his family.

That indeed is sad. Nobody has ever survived pancreatic cancer yet.

Alex is such a classy man.  It was hard to hear the bad news about his condition.  He has always been a favorite of my Mother's.  If I remember correctly, she would use the word galant to describe him. I will wish him the very best.

Sad to hear this. Pancreas cancer is a fast killer. My prayers are with him for a quick recovery.

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

I've lost a couple family members and neighbor to that disease.  I like Alex Trebek.  This is so sad.

I just read that online.  Special prayers for him.  I've known two people who had been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer.  One lived a few months after diagnosis, the other one lived 1 1/2 years.  He had gone all over the country for special treatments (he had lots of money).
Have a wonderful day!

But he has a really good attitude.  I liked that he has asked everyone to pray for him.  That tells me where he stands and that when he does die he is ready to go.

Yes they have.  The rate is low but there have been people to beat it.

I was surprised to hear this. He was one of those celebrities that never seemed to get older. He appears to have a great sense of humor and outlook on life. I think that makes a difference, even if only a minor one, in fighting and surviving something so tragic. I wish him and his family all the fortitude it takes to get through this.
