Just last month, Alex has revealed that he has passed the one-year survival rate while battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He spoke about some of the issues he’s been dealing with, including pain and depression. Alex said he works hard to stay positive and survive for his wife, kids, and other cancer patients out there that look up to him.
Alex said, You know, my oncologist tried to cheer me up the other day. He said, ‘Alex, even though the two-year survival rate is only 7%, he was certain that one year from now the two of us would be sitting in his office celebrating my second anniversary of survival.’ And you know something?
