Alex Trebek says he’s not afraid to die as cancer grows

Alex Trebek, the Canadian icon who’s hosted the game show, “Jeopardy!” for more than 30 years, wants the world to know he’s not afraid to die.

Trebek sat down last week with Canadian news anchor Lisa La Flamme to discuss his recent cancer diagnoses, its remission and return. He’s had a rough 2019. In March he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, then in May said it was in remission after undergoing a round of chemotherapy and he was back in good health.

However, Trebek told LaFlamme that the follow-up immunotherapy did “diddly squat” and the cancer came back 50-percent higher than his original diagnosis. He is set to resume chemo treatments.

“I’ve lived a full life, a good life, and I’m nearing the end of that life. I know that,” Trebek said. “I’m not gonna delude myself. If it happens, it happens. Why should I be afraid of that?”

He's lived a full life. If it's his time, then all right. But I won't pretend it's not gonna hurt like hell when he goes.
