Alex Trebek returns to 'Jeopardy!' after pancreatic cancer treatment
Washington Times, Aug 29, 2019, Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek has returned to work, saying he’s “on the mend” following treatment for pancreatic cancer.

The game show posted a video Thursday on Twitter showing the 79-year-old host back on set and promising “a good year” ahead. He actually started work on July 22, his birthday.

New episodes of the upcoming Season 36 are slated to begin airing on Sept. 9.

Trebek announced his diagnosis in March. He said he planned to beat the disease’s low survival rate with the love and support of family and friends and with prayers from viewers.

The American Cancer Society estimates 3% of patients with stage 4 pancreatic cancer are alive 5 years after being diagnosed.

Were did the Canadian receive his treatment?

Regardless that is real good news.  With Notorious RGB and Alex fending off that cancer...maybe there is hope for better odds for a 5 year survival rate for pancreatic cancer
