The Passing of Steve Jobs – Pancreatic Cancer

It’s too young to die at age 56. It’s too young to die when you have four children and a wife. It’s too young to die when you have led one of the most successful technology companies ever. It’s too young to die when you are very rich, have so much more to do and to give back. But pancreatic cancer doesn’t care. This time, again, one of our most deadly cancers won.

Medicines, nutrition, transplant, apparently Steve Jobs, celebrated CEO of Apple, tried them all. But, as we wrote in a recent blog, continuing was just too much.

On this web site we tend to report progress in medicine – new approaches that are either curing people or preserving, better than ever before, their quality of life. We report hope. But this is a case when we report  with sadness and frustration that there are still conditions that remain tough to beat. This is one of them.

I have met the rare person who has survived pancreatic cancer. One woman in Houston, Mary Sharkey, gives many hope. But there’s reality too, and mortality we all face.

Researchers like our friend Sunil Hingorani here in Seattle, who lost his father to pancreatic cancer, are passionate in their pursuit of a cure, or, at the very least, effectives medicines to knock the disease back so you can live with it rather than die from it. Believe me, experts like Sunil are working on this every day.

But we still fall short for so many who are affected right now. And so, the loss of Steve Jobs. He knew, as we all should always remember, good health is #1.

Wishing you the best of health!
