    Hope it gets managed as well as possible and he doesn't suffer too much. Always liked him.

    Yeah, that's very sad.My daughter works at an Oncology clinic and deals with similar patients on a daily basis. The good part is he has lived a long successful life.

    My only brother died of pancreatic cancer. It was a horror to watch. Tore me apart. He was a VA patient and not eligible for Death With Dignity. My mother should have paid for it anyway. God, that was tough.

    That's me for the most part. I lose 100 bucks a year maybe. When I lose that 20 or 40 bucks I think of how hard I worked for it and what I coulda bought with it.

    We watch Jeopardy religiously every weekday. It takes courage to reveal and to fight big C. Trebec is actually 78 . Best of luck to Alex Trebec!
