hmmm, 9 months of super stinky shit thats hard to flush. why would anyone want to live with that for that long. unless he took pancreatic enzyme supplements.

am glad he's ok now. still not a smart move.

long live his steveness]]>Mar 5th 2008 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/
There are other malignancies that are less agressive and some can be slow growing, or even non-malignant such as a microcystic serous adenoma.

As I recall, he had a neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas, which is entirely different than pancreatic adenocarcinoma (which is what people often think about when they say pancreatic cancer), and if caught early can be cured. Even if caught later it may still be able to be cured so long as it has not metastasized (typically to the liver).

Much like ANYTHING with famous people, it's interesting if it is about them, it's not if it's about average Joe. Clothes, cars, cancer you name it. While you may not like that, at least it can serve to make the public more aware. Heard of the "Katie Couric Effect"- when her colonoscopy on Today boosted colonoscopies by 20% for nearly a year?]]>Mar 5th 2008 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/

I say it's dangerous because I know so many people who would blindly put all their faith in so called 'natural healing' whilst they slowly die!
(there are shops in my area which claim they can cure/treat anything with holistic medicine including HIV, cancer, etc! They charge loads too, what a con!)

Consider it for trivial ailments only.]]>Mar 5th 2008 2:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/Mar 5th 2008 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/Mar 5th 2008 4:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/Mar 5th 2008 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/Mar 5th 2008 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/Mar 5th 2008 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/jobs-hid-cancer-for-nine-months-before-seeking-treatment-damn/
Seriously, though, the way I look at it, herbal/"holistic" medicine is basically at the bottom of the scale. *Some* herbal medicines do what they say on the tin, usually to the minimum degree possible. A lot of the time, the scientific community identifies these, distills them out or synthesizes the active component and makes a much more powerful drug out of them.

Of course, lots of them are hokum and snake oil, and either way, if I get cancer, I want the strongest, ass-kickingest treatment they can give me. I want it dead *tomorrow*.

I work with alt. medicine, and I tell you:

1. This is CHEAP (well, almost all alternative methods are cheap), these places where they charge you alot are total scam! Don't take them as a reference point for those of us who practice REAL alternative medicine.

And 2. Yes, we can HELP cure cancer... I said help, not totally cure... ie. it is a complement to a real treatment, not a substitute.]]>Mar 5th 2008 2:35AM
