A Long, Full Life
“The thought of pancreatic cancer does not frighten me,” the host stated. Trebek remained philosophical in the face of the consequences. “I’m 79 years old,” he explained. So, hey, I’ve had a good, full life, and I’m coming to the end of it. That I am aware of.”

Trebek also spoke to ABC News in December 2019 about how his mental health has been affected by the diagnosis. “My oncologist told me that one of the symptoms, if you will, of pancreatic cancer is that you get these moments of depression,” he explained. The presenter, on the other hand, said that he was dealing with these battles in his own way. “I don’t mind getting choked up,” he said.
