"Truth told, I have to! Because under the terms of my contract, I have to host Jeopardy! for three more years!" he said. "So help me. Keep the faith and we'll win. We'll get it done. Thank you."

When we catch pancreatic cancer, it's like a punch in the gut because we have to go in that room and tell people that the percentages are so damn low. ****cancer

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

The odds of survival keep improving. A neighbor's sister was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer almost 18 months ago, she is doing well now.

She was treated at MD Anderson.

I think of Patrick Swayze whenever I read about this cancer and stage at the same time. I will pray for Alex Trebek.

Horrible. Pancreatic & ovarian cancer, above all others, can go straight to hell.

How awful. I do know someone personally who beat pancreatic cancer, but it was an ugly fight and even the doctors were surprised she survived. God bless him!

What a strange thing to say about a dying game show host.

And he didn't even say it in the form of a question.

Why did you feel the need to say that? Just odd and makes you look like a dick.

Who is a smug jerk whom I don't wish pancreatic cancer upon?

c- Trebek has always seemed smug to me, the way he reads off the correct answer like he knew it all along.

Is that you SNL Sean Connery? Are you being serious or are you doing a bit?

That's one of my favorite things about him.

I respect your right to your own subjective opinion, but man this seems like a position that only like .000024% of the population would share.

A fellow Aggie I used to know was on Jeopardy, actually won several days. Had nothing but nice things to say about Trebek.

Oh, and **** cancer. Pancreatic cancer is the one that really scares me, because it is a silent killer, that is only survivable if caught very early, which only happens by happenstance.

I think pancreatic cancer is what got Chris Ledoux as well.

If/when Trebek dies I expect it to hit me much like Peter Jennings. Two people that were seemingly in my living room growing up every day/night. And neither have ever been in my kitchen.

This hit me in the gut when I read this earlier today. I pray he beats it. Pancreatic cancer took my grandfather when he was 52 and my TAMU roommate's mom when we were sophomores. I thought this was worth sharing.

He's 78? Damn, I never thought he was that old.

It's a death sentence, from what I understand most "survivors" were misdiagnosed. Wish him and his family the best, **** cancer.

Perhaps your roommate's mom had another form of cancer that women can get?


What??
