But that doesn’t mean that, amid the battle with cancer, Trebek hasn’t suffered. Chemotherapy is part of his treatment, and an unfortunate side effects of chemo is hair loss. To keep up appearances, he has been seen sporting a wig. But one day, he ventured outside without it, showing the dramatic extent of his hair loss.

Alex Trebek needs our prayers now more than ever! They seem to be working, but he’s not out of the woods yet. Please share to show your support for the beloved host!
