Alex Trebek has “kind of mind-boggling” news: Doctors say he’s “near remission,” the Jeopardy! host shares with People. Even though stage 4 pancreatic cancer, with which he was diagnosed, has just a 9% five-year survival rate, per ABC News, Trebek has been responding extremely well to chemotherapy. “The doctors said they hadn’t seen this kind of positive result in their memory,” the 78-year-old says. “Some of the tumors have already shrunk by more than 50%.”
He still has several more rounds of chemotherapy to go to get to full remission, but Trebek says he cried “tears of joy” upon hearing about his progress.
What is prayer? For a $1000.
I’ll take cancerous pancreas for 100 Alex!………..Good luck Alex, that’s one of the tough ones to have any luck with.
They said the same to my dad.. dead a year later.
Good news for a change .
He will likely die soon. Not from cancer but from chemo poisoning.
Ken Jennings waiting in the wings? I hope.
I thought Holzhauer must’ve lost.
Ken Jennings is a nevertrumper, meanspirited, shithead!
@joe6pak: I had chemo five years ago. Define “soon”.
😉
@joe6pak: Me too had chemo (2001) still here Yaaay.
Keep the faith!
Hang in there Mr. Trebek! I’m glad for your good news.
Mrs. Uncle, still going strong, had chemo for stage II breast cancer in 1998.
Good for you guys for suffering thru chemo. I just lost a friend a couple months ago. Free of cancer, but chemo had him so weak he couldn’t fight anything. He picked up something that lead to a lung infection and he went pretty quick. I wasn’t trying to pick a fight on that, I’m happy for you guys!
I like Alex. He makes up for the totally fucked up education system in the U.S. We do have smart people, despite the DOE. Check out the DOE in NYC, New York Post, May 29,2019. Page 11, Michael Goodwin.
Racism and stupidity at it’s best.
BTW I had prostrate cancer. Went for the radiation treatment:
five days a week for five weeks at the VA Hospital in The Bronx.
My PSA went from 9 to 0. God Bless the VA and the doctors. That was back in 2010. Next check up in June.
Good Luck and God Bless Alex.
Alex is just a blithering idiot demotard. He is not even intelligent.
Lazlo lost a good friend last night at 11:58 pm.
His name was Mitchell and he was an Army Ranger, and one tough bastard
Colon cancer. He was good up until the chemo.
Fuck you, cancer of any kind. He was baptized, and went on to Glory in the arms of his older brother, My Best Friend Lance.
If I ever get that way, I am taking the money I would have spent on more treatments and buying as much cocaine, stinky pot and Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey as I can get my hands on.
I am going to buy a framed poster of Evil Roy Slade with extra hard glass and use that to do big wavy lines on.
I will have all my guitars and amps around me, the stereo ready to rumble, the Pro-Tunes set up to record.
Then I shall go out in style
Lazlo…..
Evil Roy Slade?
HOLY HANNAH!!!! I’M IN!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Extipates? Wow!
@ Lazlo The Elder MAY 29, 2019 AT 9:21 PM
Ha! Good for you!
Since I didn’t check out with a heart attack at 55, or earlier, like the two previous generations of my family, I decided I needed a new deadline and method.
Now it’s 95 and shot by a jealous husband. Not fading out in a bed with multiple afflictions.
With my luck, I’ll be shot by a jealous husband when I’m 95 – by a guy I don’t even know with paranoid schizophrenia while I’m in a coma.
Is it opposite day in extirpates land?
When death is inevitable, there is nothing left but style
