LOS ANGELES (AP) Alex Trebek has a message of support for Congressman John Lewis as both fight pancreatic cancer.
Were starting a new year, and lets see if we cant both complete the year as pancreatic cancer survivors, Trebek said when asked what he would tell Lewis. He noted theyre the same age, 79.
The Georgia Democrat and veteran civil rights leader announced his diagnosis of advanced cancer in late December. In making his announcement, Lewis made clear that he has no plans to step aside and said, I have a fighting chance.?
Trebek made his illness public last March and has shared his progress and setbacks.

Trebek says he's already rehearsed what he's going to say to the audience on his final show. Trebek, host of the popular game show since 1984, announced last March that he'd been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer but will continue his job while still able. In an interview on ABC-TV broadcast Thursday, Trebek said he'll ask the director to leave him 30 seconds at the end of his last taping. (Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP, File)
