I like when he said “I love that he had a good last day”. So many with cancer don’t get to experience that. ❤️

Yeah I know, I had to watch my dad have a horrible death from pancreatic cancer. It's extremely painful!. All we could do was give him morphine for the pain.

@SheilaLS 3 жыл бұрын

@@amakuaole I am incredibly sorry for your loss. I wish you and your family peace and healing. I hope someday doctors will stop ignoring those of us slowly dying of pancreatitis and missing the cancer until it is too late. They can and must do better by their patients.

@@SheilaLS you actually believe the doctors are ignoring this???? Pretty sad to send this out.

@SheilaLS 3 жыл бұрын

@@georgemusic4all4seasons Yes. I went to dozens of doctors starting in high school and went undiagnosed and three years ago at age 55 i could no longer eat because of the pain or digest food without enzymes and the doctors still ignored it. Only when my kidneys began to fail did they send me to an oncologist and still they didn't help me in time. There are no good answers for pancreatitis but if they remove the pancreas like they commonly remove the gall bladder a patient like me could avoid cancer, be out of excruciating pain and live with a combination of dialysis, enzymes, and insulin. Its ugly and difficult and it sucks but better than a straight up death sentence.

I cried all the way through tonight's episode of Jeopardy 💔 Alex was such an outstanding person. He felt like family. My Mom and I watched Jeopardy together for so many years. We had so many laughs because I really wasn't smart enough to play, she's the one who got the answers right. This touched me so deeply because Alex Trebek was one of her favorite people and mine too. I lost my Mother to cancer on the same exact day eleven years ago. Sending My Prayers to Alex's family and friends 🙏 and to all that loved him 💜 I know a good game of Jeopardy is being played in heaven. God Bless Much
