He CEO of Apple died due to pancreatic cancersomething that, unfortunately, continues to kill many people today, with a very complicated forecast, however, that of Steve Jobs, was different, and everything was in favor of him, but, then, why did he died so soon?
The death of Steve Jobs: What happened?
Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, and we already know her story. After starting in a garage and being expelled from his own company, he returned to turn Apple into the most important technological company in the world, however, when the iPhone was developing, one of those devices that revolutionized everything, its luck also changed.
In 2003 they detect pancreatic cancer (although he did not announce it until 2004), specifically a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumora very rare type of tumor, since this, despite being of pancreas, is not so deadly, with a 95% survival rate In cases of localized stage, which not only Jobs had, but had also been taken in the initial phase of the same.
This, together with the economic resources he possessed, gave a very high hope that today he could continue with us, however, everything changed when for himself rejected medicineand wanted to be cured based on alternative treatments as changes in your diet, natural therapies and other unconventional approaches.
Subsequently, and after the progress of cancer, which, unfortunately, does not care what we eat or do (because homeopathy and alternative therapies are still not demonstrated), in 2009he was diagnosed with liver dysfunction due to cancer metastasis, so he had to submit, by force majeure, to a liver transplant.
From that moment on, and although the operation was successful, Jobs already had disseminated cancer for his body, so, although began to bet on medicineit was too late, and On October 5, 2011, at 56 years of age, he died finally.
It is true that money does not cure everything, because Steve Jobs chose to sequence his DNA as part of his strategy to face cancer. According to Technology Reviewwas one of the pioneers to use the analysis of their genome as a tool in the fight against this disease, however, it was too late.
Therefore, despite the fact that his cancer had a very good prognosis, and any person, without high economic resources such as Steve Jobs, could have cured, the delay of evidence to determine the type of cancer, and think that he could heal, made him Finally lose the battle.
The most surprising thing about everything is that lasted 8 years with himwhich reinforces more the theory that, using medicine from the first moment, the thing could have changed, although we will never know.
