Patrick Swayze paid for the best Big Pharma medicines available to treat his pancreatic cancer, he was dead within 18 months.

Jobs? cancer had been discovered by chance during a CT scan in 2003 to look for kidney stones, during which doctors saw a ?shadow? on his pancreas. Isaacson told CBS? 60 Minutes last night that while the news was not good, the upside was that the form of pancreatic cancer from which Jobs suffered (a neuroendocrine islet tumor) was one of the 5% or so that are slow growing and most likely to be cured.
But Jobs refused surgery after diagnosis and for nine months after, favoring instead dietary treatments and other alternative methods. Isaacson says that when he asked Jobs why he had resisted it, Jobs said ?I didn?t want my body to be opened?I didn?t want to be violated in that way.? His early resistance to surgery was apparently incomprehensible to his wife and close friends, who continually urged him to do it.
