Guest Guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Never heard of a single person that has recovered from this type of cancer. It offers the most severe pain of any cancer and the quickest death sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfMan Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Never heard of a single person that has recovered from this type of cancer. I read an article put online YESTERDAY about how Steve Jobs (Apple CEO) was diagnosed with it in 2003 and he's still kicking and apparently doing well. http://www.news.com/8301-13579_3-9886077-3...ml?tag=nefd.pop Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 http://www.macrumors.com/2004/08/01/jobs-u...cancer-surgery/ "I had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which represents about 1% of the total cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed each year, and can be cured by surgical removal if diagnosed in time (mine was). I will not require any chemotherapy or radiation treatments. The far more common form of pancreatic cancer is called adenocarcinoma, which is currently not curable and usually carries a life expectancy of around one year after diagnosis. I mention this because when one hears "pancreatic cancer" (or Googles it), one immediately encounters this far more common and deadly form, which, thank god, is not what I had." Lets hope that Swayze is lucky enough to be in the 1% of the total cases of pancreatic cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God be with him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
