       | Steve had an islet cell neuroendocrine cancer which is much more
       | rare.

         | Yes, it's much more rare and completely curable simply by
         | cutting the bad part off. But Jobs chose a diet of fruit juice
         | and hubris (mostly hubris) to try and fix it and he died
         | because of it.

           | Yep. My ex-wife has it and used it to gain sympathy and

           | She discovered it in the late 80s(37 years ago).
