No kidding.

This is especially worrisome:

I'm wishing him the very best ...but this may be the beginning of that dreaded sea change.

Get well soon Steve

Like I posted in the other thead, I'm betting that Steve is done with Apple. Hopefully that's all there is to it, but it doesn't sound good for his health.

Why pick June? My brother and I were speculating on this and he thinks that this way people get used to him not coming back....when June comes rolling around, he might extend the leave or just quietly leave Apple permanently.

It indeed does not look good for Jobs. Pancreatic cancer is usually unsurviveable. Jobs appeared to luck out when he was first diagnosed and has lived longer after diagnosis than the vast majority, whose lifespan after diagnosis usually runs to two or three months. It may have caught up with him and as I noted in an earlier post, the "hormone" he has been talking about could well be insulin, a deficiency of which will cause extreme weight loss.

I hope I am wrong; nobody deserves this nasty, aggressive cancer. My sister-in-law had it in 1994, so I got to see the damned thing up close.

I had thoughts along those lines too.

Has there been one scintilla of info from this new health issue that has come from a real doctor? I am prejudiced against people who are vegetarians who in the past hid their cancer for six months and was treating it with a natural diet. He finally took a real doctor's advice.

Now he could be doing the same thing. Who thinks his health issue is more complex? Steve Jobs or some real doctors? It doesn't sound like it. Just one line in a story which says Steve was seen walking out of a real medical center and I would stop worrying that he is actually treating himself with extract of gingko bilboa holistically purified by guru Baba Nutria.

I don't want to add him to my cadaver derby but he is not coming back in June unless I see a report from UCLA Medical Center that says Steve is now on force feed IV drip of cheese burgers and pork chops.

The whole meat topic is lame. Looking at the photos of him from a year ago he was plump and doing fine. The cancer is what screwed him up. Taking out part of his digestive tract is what screwed him up ...NOT the fact that that he doesn't compete in the friggin annual hotdog eating contest.

I've been cutting back on meat heavily myself. I'd cut it out completely if I didn't enjoy eating trying new things so much. I just really love food, period. Eating less meat is better for you, it's better for the environment, and people just need to learn to accept other opinions.

I absolutely hate sports ...but you don't see me pointing my finger and ridiculing anyone I see pick up a ball? ...maybe I should ....it has more of an impact on me than someone who doesn't eat meat. At least I don't have to pay taxes to support their habit.

..that's all I'm gonna say about it before it turns into a rant from hell.
