Apple CEO Steve Jobs Has Cancer Surgery
(8/2/2004)
Steve Jobs appears to be engaged in a new battle that is far more important than any software or hardware war. This battle is for his health. Reports have just surfaced that Jobs, age 49, is recovering from surgery due to a rare form of pancreatic cancer. According to reports, Jobs wrote an email from his hospital bed informing his Apple employees of his status on Sunday.
Jobs wrote, "This weekend I underwent a successful surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from my pancreas. I had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which represents about 1 percent of the total cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed each year, and can be cured by surgical removal if diagnosed in time (mine was). [i] will not require any chemotherapy or radiation treatments."
Jobs is expected to return to work at Apple Computer some time in September.
