Steve Jobs had a very treatable form of pancreatic cancer. His was a tumor in the tail of the pancreas (where insulin is produced) not the head (which is the more fatal part—associated with digestion.) If he had treated it when it was discovered, using the current care protocols, his 5 year survival rate would have been approaching 80%.
But he thought he was smarter than the entire medical/research community. He went with “natural” treatments. Naturally….he died.
Don’t be Steve Jobs.
Don’t be Vince Lombardi when he told his doctor: “I’m not gonna let you stick that thing up my ass!”
