time to grow into a real cancer. That's also why screening —<br />

and going there on time — is so important.<br />

This illustrates also why leaving even the most innocent<br />

malign tumor to grow is just a foolish thing to do — a ticking<br />

time bomb.<br />

Jobs was a hippie back in the day, and a conventional<br />

medicine skeptic now. His reaction to the disease gave the<br />

disease time to spread.<br />

Many mainstream media, including Cnn, stated that Mr.<br />

Jobs might have spent as long as two years without proper<br />

(conventional) treatment.<br />

While Mr. Jobs was trying all sorts of alternative mumbojumbo<br />

I won't even bother to go through as their failure is<br />

now sadly irrefutably proven, his tumor grew, and grew, and<br />

grew . . .<br />

. . . and then it somehow grew beyond control.<br />

• Jobs waited so long before seeking normal treatment<br />

that he had to undergo a Whipple procedure, losing his<br />

pancreas and whole duodenum in 2004. This was the first<br />

alarming sign that his disease had progressed beyond a<br />

compact primary to at least a tumor so large his Pancreas<br />

and duodenum could not be saved.<br />

• Jobs seemingly waited long enough for the disease revealed<br />

to have spread extensively to his liver. The only reason<br />

he'd have a transplant after a GeP-neT would be<br />

that the tumor invaded all major parts of the liver, which<br />

takes a considerable amount of time. Years, in most neuroendocrine<br />

tumors. It could be that this happened before<br />

his diagnosis, but the risk grows exponentially with time.<br />

• We then saw the tumor slowly draining the life out him.<br />

It was a horrible thing to see him lose weight and slowly<br />

turn into a skin and bones form of himself.<br />

Yet it seems that even during this recurrent phase, Mr. Jobs<br />

opted to dedicate his time to Apple as the disease progressed,<br />

instead of opting for chemotherapy or any other conventional<br />

treatment.<br />

As for the "Why?" question:<br />

every patient has another view of his or her disease and<br />
