His treatment was pretty well documented. It’s out there if you are interested.
You can read, can’t you?
Yes.
According to Steve Jobs’ biographer, Walter Isaacson, the Apple mastermind eventually came to regret the decision he had made years earlier to reject potentially life-saving surgery in favor of alternative treatments like acupuncture, dietary supplements and juices. Though he ultimately embraced the surgery and sought out cutting-edge experimental methods, they were not enough to save him. Jobs’ cancer had been discovered by chance during a CT scan in 2003 to look for kidney stones, during which doctors saw a "shadow” on his pancreas. Isaacson told CBS’ 60 Minutes last night that while the news was not good, the upside was that the form of pancreatic cancer from which Jobs suffered (a neuroendocrine islet tumor) was one of the 5% or so that are slow growing and most likely to be cured. But Jobs refused surgery after diagnosis and for nine months after, favoring instead dietary treatments and other alternative methods. - https://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2011/10/24/steve-jobs-cancer-treatment-regrets/?sh=43272f407d2e
My dad, who did not smoke or drink but breathed in plenty of smoke as a expert welder for over 35 years, died of PC. It is hard to diagnose early and by the time he was then it was too late. But he did not suffer much.
As for Robbie Knievel, i guess he had it for a while. His dad lived longer, dying in Clearwater, Florida, on November 30, 2007, aged 69, after suffering from diabetes and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis for many years.
However, by the grace of God (no understatement) "Evel" made his greatest "jump" when he sincerely gave His sins and life to Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us. His honest testimony of it (video) in Robert Schuller Crystal Cathedral )of all places) is very likely the most gospel that congregation ever heard. And which I wish everyone would. Evel reiterated the story of his conversion in other places as well before his passing from this world and into glory. Thanks be to God.
I’ve just been diagnosed stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Chemo in progress. There are survivors and I am FIGHTING to be one!!
Amen thanks brother. A happy story makes a nice change these days
And if you listen to him, including expanded interviews as here, then he is quite a preacher in via honest, frank but profound testimony.
We all shall die of something someday
Make your plans now
I gots to know!!
This should urge us all to take the gospel to the folks who possibly have never heard it presented
We’re praying for you!
Evel couldn’t t hold a candle to Super Dave Osborne.
Turbo cancer, I think is the noveau term. An unexpectedly common thing in a post mRNA treatment world.
Prayers up!
Good reminder for all of us.
Although I am not an Eastern religion cult believer myself, I used to have a new age magazine cover I put up at work with a natural scene and a Sri Paramahansa Yogananda (Autobiography of a Yogi author) quotation:
Be thankful to have the blessing of one ordinary day.
I had gone through having my precious wife in the hospital for 54 days and thanks be to God she made it back for 22 years before dying suddenly at home in February of last year. Those "ordinary" days when she could be happy at home were all blessings.
I tried to remember each day was something for which to be thankful to God.
Man, how old? May God have mercy. And may you received the same that Christ obtained for us, as Evel told of, if you have not yet.
Didn’t Clint Eastwood say that? 🤗
Praying for you.
Thanks again Dan that was a great interview. I had no idea he was saved!
Did he fire 5 or 6?
Yes we were having some fun but mixing up two different movies.
Dirty Harry movie had the “I gots to know” dude.
Magnum Force movie had the line at end “a man’s got to know his limitations”.
