Alex Trebek said he was ready to keep battling his pancreatic cancer one year after he was diagnosed with the disease
“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 said. “But I brushed that aside quickly, because that would have been a massive betrayal — a betrayal of my wife and soulmate, Jean, who has given her all to help me survive.
At the end of his message, Trebek said his oncologist recently tried to cheer him up by saying that even though the two-year survival rate is just seven percent, he was certain Trebek would be around to celebrate that milestone. “And you know something,” Trebek said, “if I, no, if— because so many of us are involved in this same situation — if we take it just one day at a time with a positive attitude, anything is possible. I’ll keep you posted.
