I’ve forgotten the type of pancreatic CA that Jobs had, but IIRC, it was one of the less aggressive types. And I didn’t know he was diagnosed in 2004. 7 years is a LONG time to live with pancreatic cancer. Whipple procedures used to have a 25% mortality from the surgery alone. Now it’s around 2%.
Then I would stand corrected. Surgery may indeed have prolonged his life.
Not much said about Cain’s liver mets. That too was an ominous sign just a few years ago, and he’s five years now tumor free. I think he had surgery and chemotherapy combo which was smart.
On the other hand, sometimes you do surgery on these cases and they go down hill quite fast....Hard to say...
No choice under ObamaCAre. Jobs would have died years ago...
