Indeed. Somehow people even manage to forget that he died of a typically curable cancer because of his hubris.

Pancreatic cancer is serious business. It's not "typically curable" by any stretch. The 5-year survival rate is 1% - 15% depending on how early it's detected.

That said, his holistic approach to treatment didn't help him at all.

He had a neuroendocrine islet tumor, not pancreatic adenocarcinoma. It has a much higher survival rate... as long as you don't try to treat it with acupuncture.
