9 years ago a good friend of ours told us he had pancreatic cancer, but he hadn't yet looked into the details of the disease. The look on my face told him it was bad. Turned out to be Islet Cell (the same type that Jobs had), and they were able to catch it in time. He's one of the extremely rare to actually have been cured of it - and I still don't think he ever really researched the disease and doesn't really count himself one of the "real" cancer survivors. I had Thyroid cancer at the same time and he was more worried about me ;)
