I get that he still wants to continue to work as it represents a normalcy his diagnosis robs, but perhaps he should perhaps consider whether he wants his fans watching him noticeably dying. It sucks through and through.

When my great uncle got diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer, it took six months before it became visibly noticible that he was losing weight. By the 13th month (when he died) he was a skeleton.

This is what I figured too, even before this when there was talk about his next contract.

He's done. My grandfather had and died from that :(. One of the bad ones for sure.

My mom, too. 6 days after they actually had a diagnosis.

At least Alex can still stand up, talk, and doesn't have yellowed-out eyes. Ma couldn't by that point.

Alex Trebeck is 78 years old (a year older than Bernie Sanders). It sucks but his time is definitely limited. Jeopardy is my favorite pastime and this really sucks. Thanks for the memories, Alex.

Are there any signs for this type of cancer before you hit stage 4?

It's very aggressive, but you might feel fatigue, have problems with digestion or blood sugar, abdominal pain. By the time you catch it it's very often too late. I lost an aunt to it 3 years ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt9ZNqy-ZDM

According to my mom, when I was 2 I used to run down the stairs when this disco rear end show came on shouting “the man with the action! Alex Trebek!”

My parents still watch Jeopardy every drat night, I feel like I need to call them. This guy is practically family.
