Fog Blog Ridiculog: Better Cancer Treatments For The Rich??
IN A PEOPLE'S MAGAZINE ISSUE ON THE FRONT PAGE TODAY....IT READ THAT ALEX TREBEK IS BEATING HIS STAGE 4 PANCREATIC CANCER DUE TO THE LOVE OF HIS WIFE OF OVER 30 YEARS! i BELIEVE LOVE IS A STRONG MOTIVATOR FOR BEATING DISEASE. ALTHOUGH THAT KIND OF CANCER USUALLY IS A DEATH SENTENCE .....IN ALEX'S CASE GETTING THROUGH THE FIRST YEAR WHICH USUALLY A 20% SURVIVAL RATE........IS A GREAT FEAT......PROBABLY ATTRIBUTED TO HOSTING 'JEOPARDY' AND THE LOVE FOR HIS WIFE AND SUPPORT OF HIS FAMILY. USUALLY SUPPORT FROM FAMILY IS A GIVEN BUT THE OUTCOME IS USUALLY GRIM FOR THAT TYPE OF CANCER. THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER REASON!........BEING IN A CERTAIN REGION THAT ALLOWS FOR CUTTING EDGE TREATMENTS AS OPPOSED TO AREAS THAT DON'T HAVE THOSE TREATMENTS. WHEN YOU HAVE THE MONEY TOO, MAKES THE DIFFERENCE , BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TYPES OF TREATMENTS THAT EXTEND LIFE EXPECTANCY GREATLY OR EVEN BEING THE 5 TO 10% THAT BEAT IT. IT'S SAD FOR THE MANY THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN KNOW THEY ARE IN STAGE 4 AND ARE GIVEN A DEATH SENTENCE AND THE TRADITIONAL TREATMENTS ONLY EXTEND LIFE FOR A SHORT TIME. i AM HAPPY THOUGH FOR MY FAVOURITE HOST......ALEX TREBEK , WHO IS IN HIS SECOND YEAR AND GOING STRONG......KEEP GOING ALEX!
