JUST IN: 'Jeopardy!' host Alex Trebek has finished chemotherapy and is back at work.
In promotional materials for the show's 35th season, Trebek said that life in the studio these days is"exciting," and personally, he's moving forward."I've gone through a lot of chemotherapy and thankfully, that is now over," he said."I'm on the mend and that's all I can hope for right now."
Trebek, who turned 79 on July 22, told People magazine in May that some of his tumors had"shrunk by almost 50%" and that he was"near remission." Calling the response to his illness"mind-boggling," he credited his fans for their"good thoughts, their positive energy directed towards me and their prayers."
"I told the doctors, 'This has to be more than just the chemo,' and they agreed it could very well be an important part of this," he said."I’ve got a lot of love out there headed in my direction and a lot pf prayer, and I will never ever minimize the value of that." About 56,770 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year, and about 45,750 will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society.
