Alex Trebek shares one-year update on pancreatic cancer treatment
Here's some news from my favorite game show to round out this edition: Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek, who has been undergoing treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer, shared an update yesterday in a heartwarming video. "The one-year survival rate for stage 4 pancreatic cancer patients is 18%," Trebek began, adding, "I'm very happy to report I've just reached that marker." Still, he added that the journey hasn't been easy: "There were moments of great pain, days when certain bodily functions no longer functioned, and sudden, massive attacks of great depression that made me wonder if it really was worth fighting on." Trebek is now looking to reach the two-year mark, which has an even bleaker 7% survival rate. "If we take it just one day at a time, with a positive attitude, anything is possible," he said.
