I Have Something In Common With Alex Trebek
I've been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My particular case is probably fairly survivable. I'll be having surgery hopefully soon.
One thing I can say about the experience is that it's really painful, and it's been hard to get more than two hours of sleep a night. For Alex Trebek to go through it and still perform to his high standard is amazing.

Ouch. I was just sympathizing with Alex during today's game, thinking, only two shows left and then you can rest! Really sorry to hear that you're able to one-up me and actually empathize with the man. Best wishes for successful treatment and a speedy recovery.
