Steven P Jobs, CEO of Apple, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in October 2003. Initially, the doctors told Jobs that it was almost certainly an incurable type of cancer and that he should expect to live no more than six months. Doctors told Jobs to go home and get his affairs in order, “which is doctor’s code for prepare to die,” says Steve. “It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next ten years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.” Further examination turned out that Steve had islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, a very rare type of pancreatic cancer, which could be cured with surgery. Steve underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy (or "Whipple procedure") in July 2004 and the tumor was successfully removed. In January 5, 2009, Jobs said that he had been suffering from a "hormone imbalance" for several months and announced a six-month leave of absence until the end of June 2009 to allow him to better focus on his health. In April 2009, Jobs underwent a successful liver transplant at Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute in Memphis, Tennessee. On August 28, 2008, Bloomberg mistakenly published a 2500-word obituary of Steve in its corporate news service, containing blank spaces for his age and cause of death. Although the error was promptly rectified, many news carriers and blogs reported on it. Steve responded by quoting Mark Twain: "Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated". On January 27, 2010, more than 7 years of his cancer diagnosis, Steve unveiled the Apple’s newest product, iPad. I nominate Steve as Kcancer hero to mark Steve’s certain success on iPad and model of cancer-fighter. Andy January 27, 2010
