On his one-year anniversary of being diagnosed, 3

Alex Trebek reveals he's beating the odds 4

in his fight against stage-four pancreatic cancer. 5

The one-year survival rate 6

for stage-four pancreatic cancer patients is 18%. 7

I'm very happy to report I have just reached that marker. 8

Fans have expressed concern lately 9

after the 79-year-old Jeopardy host 10

sounded noticeably hoarse and tired. 11

Did you pick the right one? 12

McKenzie? 13

Today, he admits the chemo 14

has definitely taken a toll. 15

There were moments of great pain, 16

days when certain bodily functions no longer functioned, 17

and sudden massive attacks of great depression 18

that made me wonder if it really was worth fighting on. 19

But he says giving up 20

would've been a massive betrayal 21

to his wife, faith, and his fans. 22

"Keep fighting," his supportive fans are tweeting today. 23

Trebek promises he will. 24

If we take it just one day at a time 25

with a positive attitude, anything is possible. 26
