Alex Trebek opens up about depression amid battle with pancreatic cancer

LA Times  

Alex Trebek has served as the host of “Jeopardy!” since 1984. “My oncologist told me one of the symptoms, if you will, of pancreatic cancer is that you get these moments of depression, sadness,” Trebek, 79, said in a preview post released Monday. The longtime quiz-show host first announced his Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in a YouTube video in March, vowing to “beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease.” He has since talked openly about his treatment journey and the trials and limitations of the illness, even expressing some regret over having gone public with his diagnosis. She told ABC that it’s been hard to see her husband “in pain and I can’t help him.” Trebek recognized how difficult his battle with cancer has been for his wife and family. “It’s always tough for caretakers because she has to deal with her worrying about my well-being and also dealing with… I’m not always the most pleasant person to be around when I’m experiencing severe pain or depression,” Trebek said.
