Alex Trebek from Jeopardy

[countrygirl12]

I read 2-6 weeks is the norm for someone diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.  I do not understand how you can be that sick and not know it.  Like I already said they were talking about a man at church that went to the doc and he thought he had something like a cold and he is completely eat up.  They gave him 2-6 weeks.  That is so sad.

We all have our challenges, he conquered many things he just may conquer cancer too.

He very well may.  And he has already been public about his faith in God and knowing God can heal him.  He could be a real testimony.  Either way - He is a winner!

I was/am very saddened when I heard of the news. I watch Jeopardy every day, and even on weekends when they are repeats. I just hope that if the worse comes for Alex, that they cancel the show. There could never be anyone to replace him

They will not cancel the show.  It is a big show. Kind of like Family Feud.  They just got a new host.  It is all about the almighty dollar.  I cannot imagine anyone else hosting that show though.

Bob Barker got replaced on Price is Right by Drew Carey and i think Drew does a good job and even seems to have more humilty with the contestants.

We are all replacable even tho i think since Johnny Carson has been gone from the Tonight show i have NO interest in other hosts.

But Alex was good.We all wish him well.

I love and admire him so much>  Such a horrible throw at a great man.  My hopes are medicine has come a very long way and that his treatments go successfully!

I felt really bad when I heard that. I always liked him and I really liked watching the show.

I think that is what Patrick swayze had, very sad.

[tnshpalmer85]

It was sad to see that. I hope they find a way to treat Cancer because too many people are getting it. It is very scary you just never how it is going to affect you.

When I learned of this tragic news, I immediately thought about Patrick Swayze (who passed away from the same disease years earlier). Trebek has a very optimistic outlook (which is always a positive sign). I hope he can successfully beat this insidious disease. Damn you, cancer!

He recent won the fight of cancer only to find out he now got pancreatic cancer.  This cancer seems to be frequently found on Celebs & famous people. Didn't this cancer killed Steve Jobs, Patrick Swayze, Aretha Frankin..... With so many studies on cancer research , why haven't there anything developed? If nothing else a procedure to detect the cancer before finding out about it & it's too late to do anything. I hope Mr. Trebek survive this new challenge & have strength to fight the good fight. Hope the Force surrounds him during his time of need.

i admire how he is trying to beat it

As long as Alex stays optimistic, he will be ok.

That is so sad.  My best friend just passed of cancer the beginning of the month.
