here's an article worth the read:

But what about Jobs' use of alternative medicine? Could that have had an impact on his cancer? Some experts say that, if anything, use of alternative medicine approaches may have helped Jobs' overall health. Jobs lived 8 years after his diagnosis.

The average life expectancy for someone with a metastatic neuroendocrine tumor is about two years, according to PCAN. (It remains unclear whether Jobs' cancer was metastatic when he was diagnosed.)

surgery was the recommended treatment for Jobs -- listen to what this dr says at 4:00 (its likely Jobs had top notch physicians like this counseling him). He says the more aggressive the treatment (referring to surgery) "the more they can actually stimulate the growth of whats left behind."



your dismissing Steve Jobs as a dope only underscores your narrow mindedness.

i was discussing chemotherapy and cancer with one of my doctors recently and he told me that the majority of the oncologist that are recommending chemo treatments would not choose the therapy themselves if diagnosed with cancer.

its not until a person is actually diagnosed with cancer that they are faced with looking at the various treatment options and deciding what is best for them.

the most common cancer for men is prostate cancer and both my father and grandfather have had it. as far as i know my grandfather did nothing about his and lived to 93. my father elected to have his treated and will be 88 this year.

if i am faced with it i will be looking long and hard at available treatments. a friend of mine who i think is a couple years younger than i am was, at the last time we discussed the matter, wearing diapers after his treatment. another guy i know who had prostate cancer talked to lots of people, including my father, about their treatment and elected to have the same procedure my father had. had lunch with him 2 weeks ago and he said he is doing great.
