Robin Roberts chatted with Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek on ABC’s Good Morning America yesterday and he really opened up about his cancer treatment for stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He says the pain he can handle, but the bouts of depression have been rough. He said, “My oncologist tells me I’m doing well even though I don’t always feel it. I’ve had kidney stones, ruptured disks, so I’m used to dealing with pain, but what I’m not used to dealing with is these surges that come on suddenly of deep, deep sadness, and it brings tears to my eyes.” He says the well-wishes, thoughts and prayers from fans have helped him cope. Trebek is due to for another round of chemotherapy next week, and plans to return to Jeopardy! in the fall.
