Steve Jobs receiving treatment cancer hospital

It has been confirmed today that Steve Jobs is receiving treatment for cancer in the Stanford Cancer Center in Palo Alto, California. RadarOnine reported today that it’s the same Clinic where Hollywood Actor the Late Patrick Swayze was undergoing chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer in April 2009.

There has been no formal confirmation of what type of cancer Jobs is being treated for or if he is being treated at all for cancer from the Apple spokes team. Jobs was not forthcoming about the reason he took a medical leave of absence.

Photographs of the 55-year-old Apple CEO were taken on Febuary the 8th outside the clinic and are reported to be published by the The National Enquirer tomorrow morning.

In one photo, Jobs was getting out of his car a day after a full day of work at the company’s Cupertino campus. The photos show Mr Jobs looking painfully frail and weak, with his jeans and dark top hanging loosely on his 6ft 2in, thin body.

Jobs has previously withheld information on his health, such as when he was treated for a form of pancreatic cancer in 2004 and underwent a liver transplant in 2009, something that worries Apple investors who feel the company’s future rests in his visionary leadership.

The Daily Mail spoke to Dr Jerome Spunberg, a certified Oncologist, who said: “Mr Jobs is most likely getting outpatient chemotherapy at Stanford because the cancer has recurred.”

Another consultant, Dr. Gabe Mirkin, a physician with over fourty years experience, said: “He is terminal. What you are seeing is extreme muscle wasting from calorie depravation, most likely caused by cancer. He has no muscle left in his buttocks, which is the last place to go. He definitely appears to be in the terminal stages of his life from these photos. I would be surprised if he weighed more than 130lb.”

The National Enquirer, who initially reported the news today (to be published tomorrow), talked to critical-care physician Dr. Samuel Jacobson, who said, “Judging from the photos, he is close to terminal. I would say he has six weeks.” That said, given the reliability of The National Enquirer, waiting for further news before jumping to conclusions is advised.

We’ve done a little digging into Dr. Samuel Jacobson. Jacobson appears to be a Florida based pulmonologist (breathing doctor) – not Oncologist. Which would naturally make you wonder just how qualified he is to diagnose someone via a photo, especially outside of his speciality.

We sincerely hope he’s wrong and wish Jobs all the best.

Apple chief Steve Jobs had cancer

Apple CEO Steve Jobs is one of the personalities of the best known in recent times. Very few people know, however, suffering from cancer.

Steve was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004. Called to neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas is a rare cancer of the pancreas, which is required for employment is a tumor removed from his pancreas. This process is called a pancreaticoduodenectomy (or "Whipple procedure"), and revealed that the tumor had been removed. He does not need chemo or radiotherapy.

At the end of 2008, Bloomberg mistakenly published Steve Jobs obituary, in which the date and cause of death in white. Although this was quickly rectified, this is fueled by the intense speculation about his health. Then, in January 2009, Jobs has taken six months of work "is a health problem." While continuing to indirectly prohibit the problems of cancer, we know that underwent replacement surgery of the liver in April 2009, Memphis, TN.

Normally pay for the replacement requires patients to be on a waiting list until a donor was found. But private jet Jobs' for him to get two waiting lists at the same time, and chose Memphis. More than 6,000 liver transplants done annually in the United States, but the region 11 of the United Network Organ Sharing, which includes Memphis, has a relatively short waiting time.

A liver transplant operation is a long process. It can last between 5-6 hours over 10 hours in case of complications. Transplant requires a large incision in the abdomen (abdomen). The liver is removed by cutting a series of ligaments that hold it in place, and more channels, arteries and veins.

While the new liver was recently acquired from a deceased donor blood in the liver was replaced by a very cold liquid. A new liver is placed in the empty cavity and the liver is intended to cut ligaments, ducts and blood vessels. You can prevent the rejection of foreign patients often take immunosuppressive drugs for life.

Followed by a long recovery from surgery, but the survival rate is quite high. More than 5 years survival rate is over 90 percent are good services.

If Steve Jobs, the recovery was magnificent. It said it has fully recovered from the procedure. Medical experts say that if Jobs did this procedure, which means that even if the cancer had spread to the liver, no other metastases. This is because most hospitals do not perform liver transplants on you if their cancer had already spread beyond the liver.

Apple is perhaps one of the best known and loved today. It was directed by Steve Jobs innovation and smart business sense. It's sad that someone like Jobs has had to go through this at the age of 50 soon. But, perhaps even as bad as cancer can produce good results, probably in the form of an addendum to the use of research to discover better treatments for liver cancer.
