Why does Steve Jobs look so thin? Either his cancer has returned ... There’s another possibility, one that is consistent with both Jobs’ medical history and the changes in his appearance. ... What Jobs didn’t tell the staff was that the operation he had undergone had radically rearranged his digestive organs and would permanently change the nature of his health. The Fortune article reported - and Apple has not disputed - that his surgery was a variation on the Whipple procedure, or a pancreatoduodenectomy, the most common operation for pancreatic cancer. Nobody who has a Whipple is ever quite the same. ... Jobs has never spoken publicly about what life is like after the Whipple, so we can’t be sure that he has any of the post-operative problems associated with the procedure. But they would go long way toward explaining why he looked the way did on Monday. And none of them would indicate that his cancer has returned, or that his capacity for work is diminished. Post-operative guides for patients suggest that there will be lifestyle changes but that they need not be drastic. And a survey of patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital found that the overall quality of life of long-term survivors of the surgery is nearly comparable to that of healthy people. Apple (AAPL) was invited to comment on this story, but has so far declined. apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com If Apple stock recovers Monday, is that evidence of market concern over Steve's health or simply coincidence?
