Ugh. I have seen people perish from this very very fast.
I wish you well, Alex.

Yeah, my grandmother didn't last long after her diagnosis.

Technically my pop died of pneumonia but it was the pancreatic cancer that dragged him down.
Godspeed Mr. Trebek

Alex Trebek announced Tuesday he’s undergoing chemotherapy again after a cancer setback. (https://fox17online.com/2019/09/17/alex-trebek-says-hes-undergoing-chemo-again-after-cancer-setback/)
The “Jeopardy!” host said in an interview with ‘Good Morning America’ that he lost a large amount of weight, and his numbers skyrocketed after finishing his first round of treatment for stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Trebek told “Good Morning America”: “I was doing so well. And my numbers went down to the equivalent of a normal human being who does not have pancreatic cancer. So we were all very optimistic. And they said, ‘Good, we’re gonna stop chemo, we’ll start you on immunotherapy…I lost about 12 pounds in a week. And my numbers went sky high, much higher than they were when I was first diagnosed. So, the doctors have decided that I have to undergo chemo again and that’s what I’m doing.”
Trebek was diagnosed in March. In May, his doctors told him he was in “near remission.”
At the time, he told PEOPLE: “It’s kind of mind-boggling. The doctors said they hadn’t seen this kind of positive result in their memory…some of the tumors have already shrunk by more than 50 percent.” He just recently returned to ‘Jeopardy,’ which started its 36th season.
Trebek told “Good Morning America” that cancer has taken a toll on his body, causing excruciating pain and fatigue at times. He said he’s also battled depression since his diagnosis.
He also said in the interview that the thought of dying does not frighten him.
... He said he does not plan to stop hosting “Jeopardy!”
CRAP!

It's always there in the blood stream. Chemo might kill the tumor but it's still in your system. Need the "Greek" test to find out what kills it and then treat it.
