Alex Trebek has a big cancer setback and resumes chemotherapy
“Hey, they [chemo treatments] worked very well the first time!” the host joked in a separate video posted to the “Jeopardy!” YouTube channel. “So we’re expecting good results again.”
“It is not unusual for pancreatic cancer patients to initially respond well and then to require further treatment,” the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network said in a statement Tuesday commending Trebek on his openness about treatment. “Most patients will continue on chemotherapy as long as it is effective.”Advertisement
“Occasionally it will cause excruciating pain in my lower back,” he said. “Other times it’s fatigue. Other times it’s nausea. Cancer is mysterious in more ways than one.”“One line that I have used with our staff in recent weeks and months is when I do pass on, one thing they will not say at my funeral is, ‘He was taken from us too soon,’” he told “GMA.” “Hey, guys, I’m 79 years old. I’ve had one hell of a good life, and I’ve enjoyed it. And the thought of passing on doesn’t frighten me.
