Steve Jobs Undergoes Cancer Surgery

Posted by timothy on Sunday August 1, 2004 @03:12PM from the get-well-soon-steve dept.

Zycom writes "Reuters reports that doctors successfully removed a cancerous tumor from the pancreas of Apple CEO Steve Jobs. In an e-mail he sent out from his hospital bed after the surgery he explained the disease, saying, "I had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which represents about 1 percent of the total cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed each year, and can be cured by surgical removal if diagnosed in time (mine was)." He will not need to have any chemotherapy or radiation therapy and has an excellent prognosis. While he is recuperating, Tim Cook, head of worldwide sales and operations, will run the company."

Clinton, on the other hand, was very articulate regardless of what his penis was doing at the time. It's a gift....

I'm starting chemotherapy tomorrow, diagnosed with Testicular cancer. I have to buy expensive synthetic THC drugs that hardly work instead of being allowed to use marijuana. Not that that is going to stop me.
