This role was definitely too much for him with his health problems. He did great work with that company. Was along for a lot of the ride, ever since buying the 1st gen iPod and buying AAPL pre-split at $33. Sold 18 months later at $100, would be worth $700 split adjusted today DOH! :bang:

Down 5.7% after-hours.

Damn shame.

Damn shame. You are right. My mother only lived 4 months with pancreatic cancer. He has lived about 10 times longer than most pancreatic cancer victims. Good for him. Sadly, it really is a death sentence.

He lived longer because he got a liver transplant. That's not the way the system is supposed to work. People with advanced cancer aren't usually candidates for transplants. I guess he wasn't considered usual. :rolleyes:

From June '09:

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple CEO Steve Jobs recently underwent a liver transplant. Jobs, who has been on a leave of absence from the company since January, reportedly had the transplant about two months ago in an undisclosed hospital in Tennessee.

As the Journal notes, Tennessee has a more liberal policy regarding waiting lists and residency requirements for transplants. This results in a median wait of 48 days for a liver transplant, vs. 306 nationally. As to why Jobs needed a liver transplant, it’s possibly associated with his pancreatic cancer from 2004. The five-year survival rate for all liver transplants is around 75 percent.

Next time you guys and gals cash a winner think of this charity. I lost my mom (msrip) to a different form of cancer its a terrible disease. Cancer has probably affected at lest 99% of our population in regards to a family member, friend or associate.

Cablevision’s support of The Lustgarten Foundation ensures that 100% of every donation goes directly to pancreatic cancer research.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Steve Jobs a man who actually reshaped the way we live now.

I have no knowledge of Mr. Jobs case, but it is my understanding that if you can obtain an organ through private sources then you don't have to get on any waiting list or undergo any selection process. In other words, if you can offer a donor's next of kin a large sum of money for an organ, and they accept, then you own the organ and can do whatever you want with it. In this case I don't think many doctors or hospitals would refuse to do the surgery for you.

Sale of organs in the U.S. is illegal under federal law.
