>>Steve Jobs' Ärzte haben ihm das damals auch (ungefähr) so gesagt, bis sich dann herausstellte, dass es eine seltene, operable Art des Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebses ist. (Dass er dann trotzdem daran gestorben ist, lag offenbar dadran, dass er sich nicht operieren lassen wollte und stattdessen zu Heilpraktikern usw. gerannt ist...)

>Mir fehlt jetzt gerade der Bezug zu meinem Kommentar. Bei Steve Jobs lagen die Ärzte mit der Diagnose ja scheinbar richtig.

"About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die.
[...]
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now."
Was ich allerdings nicht mehr in Erinnerung hatte: Dass die Biopsie am selben Tag war. Das macht den Fall dann doch "besser".
