He's beaten the odds to make it this far.
It's been clear for a long time (from his gaunt appearance at Apple events the last couple of years) that he's not in good health. He's made it 8 years after discovering he had pancreatic cancer. That's a good run, and he made the most of it professionally.

Not much farther, I fear.

8 years is a fantastic run
pancreatic cancer is often not even detected until the final stages -- often with only a few months to live.
Final stages include back pain, extreme weight loss or gain, sugars either high or low and a few other things. Normally the back pain is due to tumor lodging themselves into the skin of the back. It also spread elsewhere - but is known for hitting the liver. Jaundice may follow, but it's normally the attacks on the liver that kill you. |
