In mid-2004, Jobs announced to his employees that he had been diagnosed with a
cancerous tumor in his pancreas. The prognosis for pancreatic cancer is usually

5 yr survival rates. It all depends on the stage/grade and probably in Jobs'
case the histologic type of the cancer.

Cancer treatment progress is incremental, fractions of a percent each
year in survival rates/times. There is not likely ever to be a cure
for cancer -- there are many types with many manifestations. There have
been many advances but progress is slow and steady with a lot of amazing
