Some weeks ago I wrote a blog post about Apple without Steve Jobs. I considered that he would soon be able to announce new Apple products. I feel bad I didn't see the real reason for his impediment as president of the corporation. He died on October 5, in consequence of a rare pancreatic cancer.
If I had checked it, I would've given a concise statement. The thing is that he acknowledged he was cured from cancer on his Stanford speech to students, in 2005.
It seems like he got the symptoms back in 2009 and endured in a liver transplant the same year. It was supposed to stop the spread of the disease and add more years to his life.
This silent cancer is only known when it's on its advanced stages. He could have lived more, but chances of survival are between 6 and 10%.
I know I enjoyed to see every new product he would bring up. Every professional has something to learn with him.
