A few years after Steve Jobs' death, his legacy still lives on through his company, products, and reputation. Steve Jobs died in 2011 and his death affected millions of people. After all, a good amount of people from my generation purchased MacBooks, Ipods, and Iphones. Even though, I never purchased any apple products, I knew how much of an impact he had on the world.
Years after his death, movies are being made about his life. The other day, my coworker was talking about successful men dying of cancer in the United States. Back then, I didn't question why Steve died to cancer. He was a rich man, he could have afforded good amounts of treatment. Sometimes cancer is just a total death sentence.
But then I wondered, what kind of cancer did Steve have? If Steve Jobs died at the age of 56, he must have had something terrible like brain cancer. Nope. He had pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer seems like it can be dealt with.
However, instead of using practical treatments, Steve turned to acupuncture, fruit juices, spiritualists, and other methods he found on the internet to treat his cancer.
Definitely not the best decision he could have made.

ReplyDeletePancreas cancer usually lead to death very quickly and all the money in the worl can’t save you. It still one of the few types of cancer against which medicine is quite helpless (in saving the life).
Yes, he did die of pancreatic cancer. As did my sister. If detected early as Steve's was it can be treated but life expectancy is still very short. In advanced cases the protocol is the gruesome Whipple surgery followed by chemo and radiation. When diagnosed Steve thought he could beat it on his own by diet and holistic methods. He was very wrong, but insistent. What he died of was pancreatic cancer. What killed him was hubris.
