what are some of steve Jobs health conditions

In August of that year, Jobs announced, via an internal memo, that he was taking one month off to recover from surgery to treat his recently diagnosed pancreatic cancer. A pancreatic-cancer diagnosis usually results in a swift and brutal death—Patrick Swayze was diagnosed in early 2008, and died in September 2009, beating the odds by lasting that long. But while most pancreatic cancer affects the exocrine glands, Jobs’s tumor was on the endocrine glands, a variation that accounts for about 1 percent of all pancreatic cancers. In these cases, the cancerous cells, while still difficult to treat, are slower-moving. The median prognosis for this type of variation is five to seven years, though the cancer can be eliminated completely if it’s operated on fast enough.
