Longtime Jeopardy host and beloved television figure Alex Trebek announced on Wednesday he has been diagnosed with stage-4 pancreatic cancer.
In a touching video message posted on Twitter, Trebek candidly discussed his recent diagnosis and his desire to fight and win.
“Now normally, the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m going to fight this, and I’m going to keep working,” he said. “And with the love and support of my family and friends and with the help of your prayers also, I plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease.”
Prayers and healing energy to Alex. I join with the many Twitter users who are including you in their praying words tonight. To see Trebek’s message, plus Twitter reactions, flip the pages.
