Alex Trebek on his cancer treatment: 'I'm fighting through it'
In his first live interview since revealing his stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis earlier this year, legendary host Alex Trebek stopped by "GMA" Wednesday morning to update fans on his ongoing health battle.
"People all over America have been sharing their good thoughts, their advice, their prayers," he said. "And I feel it's been making a difference."

You don't come across many people like Alex in your lifetime. He's the whole package really - intelligent, funny, strong, empathetic, observant, optimistic, well-spoken, and calm to name a few. I wish him nothing but a long, happy life. Blessings~

It’s great to see a survivor like Robin interview Alex 🙏🏼
How inspiring was it that Robin Roberts, a cancer survivor herself, having been through breast cancer and bone marrow transplantation, is the one to interview Alex. She herself is a class act and tower of strength. I always think of a quote she said her mother told her. “Everybody’s got something”. Rather than dwell on poor me, it is a good way to realize we all endure, deal with it. So appropriate to pair these two.

Alex has said he believes in a Higher Power but doesn't expect "Him or Her" to do him (Alex) any special favors...there are bigger problems in the world.
I pray God gives him the strength to handle the battle ahead. Chemo has changed since my mother passed 20yrs ago. But the treatment is still challenging. I am glad he has a great support system.

No Content Found Here, kzread.info/dash/bejne/i56m2qqqftybc7Q.html You are *dead* wrong, sir.
Alex.....you are so loved. The diagnosis is crappy.... but your honesty mixed with your determination and your recovery protocol make odds and statistics nothing more than random numbers. My daughter fought leukaemia ...1254 single doses of chemotherapy, brain radiation, and chemotherapy lumber punctures. ...that was 8 years ago....this past September she got married and is happy and healthy. Please know that the entire world is holding you securely. ❤️from Toronto.
I am 45 years old and grew up on this show. It has always been one of my favorites! I now watch it with my kids (18, 15, and 8). They love it as much as I do and I find it's great family time!
Love Alex! Praying for this sweet gentleman.
It's impossible to not feel hopeful for him. Pancreatic cancer is so lethal, it's crushing, but he's obviously doing the best he can.
Been praying for him to be healed and I continue to do so. One special guy. God bless his health. Looking forward to seeing him next season.
Sending love from Vancouver, Canada. You are a true gentleman and a great man, Mr. Trebek.
This man is pure class and decency. Hard to not well up a little with tears just hearing his calming, thoughtful, hopeful message about his struggle with cancer, and I wish him the absolute best in his fight/recovery.
I LOVE HIMM!!! Praying for him everyday💜💜 keep the faith!
What a great interview and one that will be played for years to come. I have always loved Alex and wish him only the best. Robin is such a pro. I love her style.
What a wonderful and genuine human being. I almost cried when his resolve started to waiver. I hope he beats this.
Great interview Robin. Keep the faith Alex.
My father passed away in 2016 from pancreatic cancer the most devastating part was the way it took him. This disease is so harsh, and I hope Alex gets through this!!!

He’s the best! A good ole Canadian Boy! Go Alex Go! You can do this!

Go sell crazy somewhere else. We're full up here😏

I love this man and I love Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. I feel so fortunate to have had the constant presence of Pat, Vanna and Alex in my life all of these years. I'm 35 so they've basically been on television almost every weekday night the majority of my life. And it's not that I've watched them every night, by any means. It's just that they are _there_ , night after night, and you know they're there. They're like elder relatives you greatly enjoyed seeing from time to time and could visit if you gave them a call. I hope they all live til 120. They're all such wonderful, pleasant people. I'm grateful they have been around so long and pray they stay with us on air for another decade, or more, as they can. All Americans and anywhere else their show might be viewed, are all so blessed to have their regular, reliable presence on TV, after all these years. Think about it. We love, adore and appreciate you, Alex. You're a wonderful man with a kind, light heart. You've done great and you are great. Thanks for fighting and your fans fight and pray with you. God Bless you, Alex!!!

Mr Trebeck, I'm very sorry to hear about your cancer. It is a diagnoses that hits your inner soul so proundly and that is a reason for some of your moments of depresion. I know first hand. I was diagnosed with ovarian ca. It makes it difficult for you to plan the future. I can tell you this. Push on! Live life to the fullest day by day. If you are a Christian remember the suffering that Christ suffered for us. Will keep you in our prayers.
