Jobs did not have the aggressive, highly lethal form of pancreatic cancer you often hear about in the news.
He had a much rarer form of pancreatic cancer that is treatable and has much better survival rates.

Except Steve Jobs famously died of neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer.

Accupuncture and juice is pallatiative care but is accepted stupidly as treatment
Pallatiative care is making the choice to travel to end of the line. I am currently going through making that decision. If i do, bring on the tasty juices and accupuncture to make me feel relieved at the time. But i am not delusional, it's not treatment. It is not going to fix anything or even stall it
Acupuncture and fruit juices are just as effective, with a much lower incidence of side effects. I’d choose that treatment option as well. There’s nothing unethical about palliative care.
