Jobs and Pancreatic Cancer

Get well soon is all I will add.

WSJ.com - Apple Computer CEO Jobs Undergoes Successful Surgery:

"Steve Jobs, chief executive of personal-computer maker Apple Computer Inc. and animation studio Pixar Animation Studio, underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his pancreas during the weekend. The surgery was successful and Mr. Jobs will return to work in September, an Apple spokeswoman said.


Mr. Jobs, 49 years old, disclosed the news about his surgery in a memo that he sent to staffers at Apple, Cupertino, Calif., on Sunday. In the memo, Mr. Jobs told Apple employees that he had a rare form of pancreatic cancer, called islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which can be cured by surgery if removed in time. Mr. Jobs's tumor was diagnosed in time, he said, and he won't require any chemotherapy or radiation treatment."
