Oh dear Alex, when someone loves you, helping you through the illness journey is never a burden to them. Every minute with a loved one is a gift. Remember the burden is that terrible cancer, never you.

[@jacquieb6997]

HelloYou! Thank you for this comment. So true! I took care of my husband for 2 years before he passed away from cancer. I never felt he was a burden. I was happy to be there for him.

[@LifeisA_Dream]

I feel sorry for him. I wish instead of suffering from poison chemo, he would consider natural cures like cannabis oil that saved 2 friends of mine!

Yes yes yes. Please, Mr. Trebek, if you somehow see this: that is so important! Believe your wife when she says you're no burden. I'm sure she has help, too, if she needs it. I'm Happy to be able to help someone that I care for, it's a way to express my love.

[@kkdoc7864]

LifeisA Dream You are absolutely unqualified to make any statement on any medical therapy. Just by that comment, it is clear how uneducated you really are

[@LifeisA_Dream]

@@kkdoc7864 I trust thousands of years of proven cures, not 100 years of Rockefeller bought scam science. THE ROCKEFELLERS AND WESTERN MEDICINE... In the early 1900s, John D. Rockefeller bought part of the massive German pharmaceutical company, I.G. Farben. The same company that would later assist Hitler to implement his eugenics-based vision founded on racial supremacy, by manufacturing chemicals and poisons for war. Rockefeller wanted to eliminate the competitors of western medicine, so he submit a report to Congress in 1910. This report concluded that there were too many doctors and medical schools in America, and that all the natural healing modalities which had existed for thousands of years were unscientific quackery. It called for the standardization of medical education, whereby only the allopathic-based American Medical Association (AMA) be allowed to grant medical school licenses in the US. Allopathy became the standard mainstream modality, introducing the practice of synthetic drugs and the injection of toxic heavy metals like lead and mercury. Rockefeller offered huge grants to top American medical schools, under the guideline that only an allopathic-based curriculum be taught. He systematically removed any mention of the natural healing power of herbs and plants, or of the importance of diet to health. Once people had become dependent on this new system and the drugs it provided, the system switched into a paid program, creating lifelong customers for the Rockefellers. Currently, medical error is the third leading cause of death in the US.

[@kkdoc7864]

LifeisA Dream First of all, medical error is not the third leading cause of death in the US. It is lumped into “accidents” category which is about 6% of all deaths and includes all motor vehicle, workplace incidents, disasters like explosions and burns etc etc. Secondly, the study of Medicine as practiced at the turn of the 20th century needed revamping. There should always be a standard of care under the mantra of “First, Do No Harm”. Whether or not the change was instituted by capitalism or by folks like Lister, Halstead, Salk or other characters is important only because anti capitalists demonize profit. While I agree that we doctors use far too many meds, the use of “holistic” approaches is only frowned upon when sufficient studies are unavailable, and claims of cures are anecdotal as you mentioned in your comment. To prove a treatment works takes a lot of research. A good study requires fulfilling a number of criteria : it should be prospective, double-blind, have a very large population being tested with all interfering factors eliminated and have a p value of less than 0.05 Otherwise you cannot conclude that cannabis or anything else “works”. Those are the standards.

[@LifeisA_Dream]

@@kkdoc7864 Vaccines don't use double blind studies either. Bought and paid for studies are like the cops shooting someone and then deciding to "investigate themselves". Why is Cannabis still schedule 1? Because if it wasn't it would be really tested and then its game over for Big Pharma. I've seen first hand it save 2 friends of mine! That's not anecdotal, that's eye witnessing it work as soon as they started taking it. I bet you think its anecdotal when perfectly healthy babies turn sick or autistic or dead IMMEDIATELY after getting shot up with vaccines. Its called trusting your eyes and ears not fraudulent studies that have billions of dollars of incentives to lie. WAKE UP!

He told her and her husband and children and me that she might live 3 to 6 months!!!! Her cancer was in the last stage!!!! She lived for 11 more years!!!

[@AGTsakumis]

"Credit to humanity"? He's working himself to death! Why not take the last few years/months/days off? He said he has to put his affairs in order but hasn't done so! Come on Alex!

@@AGTsakumis I know Jean is a lot younger than him (she was in her 20s, and he was around 50, when they got together) but they have been married 30 years.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

@@jbohnoff I was really struck by how, as TJ points out, Alex really "buried the lead," to use the journalism term. The fact that he's actually doing well on his current course of treatment got very downplayed...maybe he's afraid of jinxing it? Or trying to preserve some privacy? In the articles that have been written recently, he sounded...not so optimistic anymore, and then this interview took a different tone. It struck me that not having the show to do anymore could also be making a difference towards his attitude toward continuing to fight. Yet, ironically, it's partly because of his condition that they had to suspend production. I love the way the fans supported that decision because protecting Alex is so important to them.

[@cdolan13]

Everyone commenting hasn't mentioned the interviewer once. This man knows how to bring personality and emotion to an interview without becoming maudlin. Really enjoyed this more than the others I've seen since Mr. Trebek contracted this horrible disease.

Klingon Hustler It depends where the cancer started. If it’s in the tail of the pancreas, it is almost impossible to diagnose early because of very few symptoms. At the head of the pancreas, chances are symptoms will present if the bile or pancreatic ducts are blocked or affected by the tumor. So location is important.

He couldn’t wait to get back to it no matter how he felt; he got on that stage and he was grateful, he laughed, he had a good time, and he really shined even through the cancer. Alex wanted that for his show. That’s a great degree of passion you don’t see much anymore. May we all strive to love our jobs that much and work as hard as Alex did. I have great respect for the level of dignity and composure he maintained all throughout. You’re missed, Alex. You were never a burden to anyone, you were a highlight of tv and made my life better because you taught me on jeopardy.

I grew up watching Jeopardy with my grandma Alex Trebek is a legend. Prayers for his healing.

What an inspiration!! Positivity keeps him going 👍

[@bobbyhousley9877]

If he is born again it will a wonderful exchange. I hope his soul is right with God

[@carolhutchinson7763]

It doesn't matter what religion he is; he's a good person.

[@bobbyhousley9877]

@Coldern Ice so, why should I shut up. You give your opinion on here, why can't I? He is such a precious individual, I was simply wondering if he is a born again believer.

Bobby Housley Amen. No heaven without repenting of your sin and believing the Gospel. “ All have fallen short of the Glory of a God” No one is good except for God. No one. Most are on the wide path, not the narrow road to salvation.

[@mariec4275]

When you are rich, you think you’re ok, but fame is a deception. God willing, this illness can show Alex his need for forgiveness and reconciliation with a God through Jesus Christ His Son. Amen.

[@murielbutlermartin927]

[@HelenWinner]

Thank you Alex for everything! God Bless You. Great interview TJ.

[@sybilgibbs5555]

Alex it does my heart good to see you walk out on that stage every night, I know the Lord has your back. Keep your trust hope and faith in God. He said he will never leave not forsake you. My hats off to your & family too.

I was so blessed to interact with Alex on the TCM cruise a few years back while he was hosting a trivia contest for us patrons. He mentioned the Actor from Treasure of Sierra Madre " of course we all remember Alfonso Bedoya". I in my drunken stupor blurted out " who the hell remembers that guy?" Alex just stood in his classy judgmental stare and I slowly crawled across the floor to grovel at his feet. It got a great laugh, but I feel embarrassed that I was such an idiot. After the event he spent a long time meeting every person in the room. I love this man. God Bless you Alex.

Sending him and his family abundant prayers.I pray hard he beats this deadly disease.

[@nlafavore]

So great you got to have this interview with Alex.

“Here I am, folks! Eat me up!” 😂😂

The same cancer at the same age that killed John Lewis on Friday. Trebek has gotten some bits of luck.

[@vickieclark5931]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[@joe6096]

Luck is a combination of preparation and timing. I have a feeling Trebek is more prepared than Lewis was. In that, he takes better care of himself.

[@youseineko]

He was only slightly older than Trebek, too. I think the quality of care may have had more to do with it than luck, but maybe their jobs had to do with it, too. Lewis was a Congressman. That’s a stressful job. Trebek is a game show host. There’s some stress involved since it’s still work, but it’s a lot more fun and lighthearted. It clearly keeps him feeling young.

[@Michelle-jz8vl]

Joe Umm Not necessarily! Lewis had a much more stressful job then Trebek

[@Michelle-jz8vl]

rose dickerson Ummm No! I’m sure Lewis had the best eat of doctors. He lived a much more stressful career then Trebek..

[@collardgreens5633]

It's honestly hard to believe he's gone.

[@KW145.]

Always will be a legend!
