Jeopardy host Alex Trebek announced in March that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer but now tells People magazine he’s responding well to treatment. So well that the Trebek, 78, is in “near remission” according to his doctors. “It’s kind of mind-boggling,” Trebek said in the magazine’s new cover story. “The doctors said they hadn’t seen this kind of positive result in their memory … some of the tumors have already shrunk by more than 50 percent” —  CNN
