Metastatic Liver Cancer | Steve Jobs pancreatic cancer

Steve Jobs pancreatic cancer

It’s quite astonishing how before father had his metastatic liver cancer, cancer was something that happened like car accidents happen: far away from my daily routine. Until father was diagnosed with cancer and suddenly the whole neighbourhood seems to have cancer. I mean, neighbours suddenly came out with cancer stories, even your own family members whom you didn’t see for ages, suddenly have cancer…

A similar thing is happening with pancreatic cancer: first there is Pavarotti, now there is Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs pancreatic cancer

Steve Jobs, the Chief Executive of Apple Computer Inc and the man behind iPod was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor.

He underwent a successful operation to remove the cancerous tumor and said that he would not require chemotherapy or radiation treatments. He said he was fortunate that his pancreatic cancer was diagnosed in time and as such, it can be cured by surgical removal.

Jobs also indicated that he did not have the common type of pancreatic cancer called adenocarcinoma which is incurable and life expectancy is only about a year after diagnosis. He said he was fortunate not to have this more common and deadly form of pancreatic cancer.

Adenocarcinoma… that’s the word that keeps on running in my mind from all the doctor papers I read about fathers metastatic liver cancer…

The best cancer treatment: having a healthy body

As long as there is no bullet proof cure for cancer, it all boils down to Darwin's survival of the fittest. The best way to get ahead of cancer is:

 

• making sure you don't get cancer
   
• making sure your body has all it can get to kill cancer cells

 

Cancer prevention boils down to eating and living healthy, keeping a healthy mind in a healthy body.

 

Easier said than done in a world were your job stresses you out, car smoke pollutes your air, food is filled with residu's and water is polluted.

 

But if your life is dear to you, then you cannot use all the above as an excuse. Father had been smoking, had worked with asbestos and didn't eat much vegetables nor fruit. Father died with metastatic liver cancer in a way I wouldn't even wish my worst enemy.

 

When your life is dear to you, start doing all the things that our metastatic liver cancer survivors are doing:

 

1. Believe there is a cure : believe it like you believe the sun will rise tomorrow.

 

2. Use conventional medicine like chemotherapy, surgery and/or radiation therapy.

 

3. Add to that alternative cancer treatments to boost your immune system and overall health:

 

• the healthier you are: the better you can fight of diseases and
   
• the healthier you are: the better chemotherapy could work for you
   

 

4. Follow an holistic health approach: having a healthy spirit in a healthy body:

 

• focus on less stress,
   
• more relaxation,
   
• more exercise (Jim's son is swimming twice a week for both exercise and relaxation),
   
• a healthy diet based on organic products
   
• make sure you have a hobby to pass your time doing something you love
   

 

5. Make sure you have money or good health insurance to buy what you need to better achieve all of the above.

 

6. Surround yourself with as many loving and helpful creatures you can find: according to pancreatic cancer patient Patrick Swayze:

 

"you gotta have a dog"
