Ugh, it really is.

I’ve had a number of family members and acquaintances die from this awful disease in the past ten years. Most of them had none of the “risk factors” for pancreatic cancer and had good health habits in terms of food and exercise. You are left with a feeling of, “if this person who was doing everything right, what can we do?”

+1. I saw it live and it was so moving.

I feel so awful for him. Pancreatic cancer is a beast.

My dad passed away from cancer at 76--right around before Alex announced his cancer diagnosis.

My dad watched Jeopardy every night. That theme song makes me tear up. He also never...NEVER...missed an answer. I joked with my mom that he will finally get his chance with Alex soon.

It's been so sad watching this progress. I know the feeling firsthand of watching a parent face it so bravely, with such optimism, enduring such awful/devastating treatments and it slowly eating away at them.

I am pulling hard for him and kept him and his family in my thoughts.

I wish him a full recovery!

He has lived a scandal-free life with his wife and children and is such a good, decent man. We watch Jeopardy every night after dinner as a family. I feel like he’s been a part of my family for so long. I truly hope he is able to recover fully.

Op here. Sorry about that! It was a very touching moment . And I think it’s wonderful that #weloveyoualex is trending on Twitter now!

I thought from the last few updates a full recovery was not really an option at this point.

Sadly that is correct. I think he's hoping the treatment will buy him some more time...

Lord I was never a big fan of the show (nothing against, just never got into it), but just reading this article had me tearing up. No way am I watching the video.

Thanks for posting, OP. Much love to Alex.

It was very sweet and he was so touched. I cried too!

Beautiful move. God it's so nice to see classy behavior.

My dad passed this year at 79 from lung cancer. Lots o' tears here this morning.

What a sweet moment on Jeopardy.
