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…
