Alex Trebek's Cancer is Back

Damn he looks very far along. That’s a very obvious hairpiece. Poor fucking guy. :(

It's not 100% fatal, just 99.99%, don't exaggerate.
Lol

Pre-F. I hope that he either beats it via miracle, or that he goes before the pain is too much. Respects. Damn scary disease.

tik tok whitie

My GF is a nurse. She has been around people with his cancer many times. She says this means he doesn't have much left and that he cancer has blown up and is spreading. This probably is the last video you will ever see of him healthy. If he ever does another one, will probably resemble more like pic related.

Holy shit I didn't think anything could emotionally affect me anymore but I am crying at this and his Canadian optimism and seeing him holding back tears which will probably be his last video publicly. Fuck man.

Hell, at least he made it to old age beforehand. That's more than many people get.

Don't give up hope, but I hear you user. My dad went from it and he went two weeks after diagnosis. At least Trebek has had some extra time.

what is boring

Hasn't he already lasted twice as long as he should have?
I-I'm sure he'll beat it

You Dad was weak and mentally gave up.

I hope you're made of sterner stuff.

reminder, after he dies he will be replaced by a black woman as host and then a bunch of women will metoo him

Fuck you, prick. Bad shit happens to good people. And thanks, I tend to think I'm pretty ok.

Whoa
Jeopardy! with earplugs, different, but ok.

He was a dead man walking the moment it was revealed it was stage IV pancreatic cancer. No one survives that. No one.

No, it's absolutely 100% fatal. The only way pancreatic cancer is non-fatal is if it hasn't metastasized, or it is discovered in the very early stages. The reason it is so deadly is because it's hard to detect until it's metastasized and spread throughout the body, at which point the symptoms of the disease begin to develop.

Christ you people seriously cannot control yourselves can you

Jobs was a moron, he probably would have died either way, but he actually sought "alternative" treatments to his cancer and only waited to do intensive chemo until it was advanced. He probably would have lived longer had he just treated it aggressively from the start.

Hmm based on your comment I rechecked and you're right, I was wrong. A 9% five year survival rate just means that they're still alive after 5 years, but after that they tend to die quickly. Fuck.

>for nine months he refused to undergo surgery for his pancreatic cancer – a decision he later regretted as his health declined".[115] "Instead, he tried a vegan diet, acupuncture, herbal remedies, and other treatments he found online, and even consulted a psychic. He was also influenced by a doctor who ran a clinic that advised juice fasts, bowel cleansings and other unproven approaches, before finally having surgery in July 2004

Don't tell me this shit. That's what my grandma died of and I'm hoping it's not genetic.

Trebek on dying
>I realize that there is an end in sight for me, just as there is for everyone else. One line that I have used with our staff in recent weeks and months is that when I do...pass on...One thing they will not say at my funeral is 'Oh he was taken from us too soon.' Hey guys, I'm 79 years old, I've had one hell of a good life and I've enjoyed it and the thought of passing on doesn't frighten me. It doesn't. Other things do: the effect it will have on my loved ones- yes that bothers me, that makes me sad. But the thought of myself moving on? Hey folks...it comes with the territory

what do you mean "you people"?

Wrong.

most types of pancreatic cancer aren't thought to be genetic.

Thanks, user. You've made my day. I am now going to leave the thread.

Attached: 1552996792486.gif (400x300, 1.83M)

I said some types, there are forms of pancreatic cancer that are linked to genetics, but they're in the minority. The problem with this type of cancer is it's very difficult to screen for it, therefore it's very hard to catch it early as the symptoms don't really start to appear until the late stages.

Most pancreatic cancers are linked to smoking, so if you're not a smoker you're already increasing your chances greatly of not developing it. Same applies to obesity.

Kelsey Grammer should be the next host. It'll be hard to watch it without Trebek.

>is back

when you have stage IV pancreatic cancer it never goes into remission, it's just a matter of giving you the best quality of life and prolonging it for as long as possible. i think the 5 year survival rate for stage iv is less than 5%.

pancreatic cancer isn't 100% guaranteed to kill you if they catch it early and it's operable. it's very rarely caught early though because it doesn't start causing symptoms until it's progressed. stage 4 is not curable though.

How come they haven't figured a way to tests for all cancers in an way your general practitioner could do? That would be more useful than an actual cure at the moment

20 years from now they'll probably be able to do something like that with just a blood test. they can detect if you have prostate cancer that way now.

otherwise you'd have to be a hypochondriac asking for CT scans every year and having your HMO turn them down since they're ridiculously expensive.

Man, cancer is a real motherfucker. Even if you manage to get it to go away, you're basically running on borrowed time from then on.

Basically anytime you get a disease your risk of getting something else to kill you goes up.

Stop eating processed food
Eat organic
No smoking and if you drink alcohol, make it yourselves

why don't you have anything to worry about?

if you get your DNA processed by 23 and me they can tell you if you have the two markers most associated with late onset alzheimer's. if you don't have the markers it doesn't mean you won't get it but you have like a 5% chance or less. if you have one of the two it's around a 30% chance, if you have both it's 60% or higher.

pretty bad joke if i'm being honest. i hope you don't get it all the same though.

I watched my grandma die of dementia, it was one of the worst things I've ever witnessed.

They just dehydrate them, and then slowly you die a suffering, painful death. No one deserves to fucking die like that, people should have the right to die. It's insane that in so many states this is how we let people die in hospice, just slowly rotting away, thirsty, hungry, watching your own body degrade and decay, but even worse for people with dementia / alzheimers is that they aren't even aware of anything that's happening around them due to the disease, all they know is they're in pain, they're suffering, and a bunch of people are sitting around them watching them slowly die.

Crap, I'm screwed. I used to smoke but quit and used to be obese but went from 195-ish pounds to 135. I'm hoping that will help. Pancreatic cancer scares the shit out of me. That and strokes.

I've felt like this since I experienced ego death on shrooms. Not the "long life" bit. Just the rest.

don't think you qualify for life insurance when you're in you 90s and have cancer
his (deceased) wife left her grandkids an inheritance and combined they left my dad over a million
but he's a boomer who thinks that wealth shouldn't be intergenerational so he should dispose of whatever money he has while he's still alive and leave his kids nothing

Norm can barely form a coherent sentence anymore, there's no way he could handle a fast show like Jeopardy.

You beat me to the prostate cancer thing. That used to be the other big one as far detection. Funny, that one is the most treatable of them all...

It's actually a pretty good joke. Not that guy but a lot of people in my family have had alzheimer's or dementia and I probably will, as well, if I make it that long. It sucks. Being an alcoholic, I have already screwed up my brain. But there are things you can do to help other people out which supposedly helps your own brain functions. Simple things, even. Like volunteering.

>pancreatic cancer isn't 100% guaranteed to kill you if they catch it early and it's operable.

Less than 2% of people diagnosed with it survive after 5 years WITH a whipple operation (cancer removed from pancreas entirely and parts of the stomach, gall bladder, large bowel, small bowel, liver, and duodenum removed as well to prevent spread through the cascade of the digestive track).
Less than 2% survive with that surgery after 5 years, Chances are that it will kill them eventually after 5 years as well. The cancers associated with the Pancreas also tend to be very aggressive on top of being hard to detect. Pancreatic cancers are statistically the most fatal of all, It's a death sentence.

Just odd that I'd ever get to chat with him. And he was so different than anyone I'd ever talked to, not in a "whoa he was so good" way, just more of a fact.

Sounds like a based fellow. But really, it's not even that much of a stretch. We're already using sniffer dogs for everything else. The only reason there isn't more research on the subject is that the specific compounds are unknown to us. They can't "prove" it even though they get it right 97% of the time.

It's not a meme. Even doctor Drew Pinsky uses it (addiction medicine specialist) for joint pain. Good for laying of the drink. That does a lot of harm. If cancer runs in your family I'd avoid smoking anything and just stick to the oils / edibles.

Also, boomers are in their 70s, now.

That said, Godspeed to you and good thoughts for getting to sleep.

Nobody will know for sure, but he could have made it if he wasn't a new age hippie retard.

yeah the problem is that the cancer then gets resistant to it and when he does chemo again it worked work as well as it did before most likely. he's going to die from it. it's just a matter of how long they can extend his life and whether or not it's worth it to deal with the awful side effects from chemo and radiation.
