Apple’s co-founder Steve Jobs shocked the world when he lost his life to a rare form of pancreatic cancer on Oct. 5, 2011. On Wednesday, March 6, longtime “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek, 78, dropped a bombshell—he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
This deadly form of cancer is often termed as the silent killer, as it is difficult to detect and has an extremely low survival rate. A person who has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer usually lives between two to six months, according to Healthline.
