if a grown man, with practically unlimited capital, and access to literally the best healthcare available anywhere on earth in all of human history decides his best course of treatment is to stick a durian up his rear end to realign his chakras, who am i to argue?

it's his decision and no one else

I can see the differences between seeking various levels of treatment from "as much as humanly possible" to pain management to flat out nothing- but if you're going to choose treatment and have unlimited money I'd stick with something medically sound and fruit juice up the butt isn't.

I'm more on the "never give up" side of things since I have a few people in my life who have beaten cancer diagnoses that were about as bad as you can get (one had her kidney become a 9-pound tumor, and the cancer was in basically everything but the brain...complete remission).

how about shoving durian paste up your butt hole but, now hear me out, also using your ungodly amount of money to get the real deal cancer treatment.

I fully support Stebes right to shove mangos in his rear end but I reserve the right to make fun of him for dying because he thinks it cures cancer lmao

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
my mom also decided to put off conventional treatment for her cancer in favor of alternative treatments including vitamins and juices despite our pleading. then when she relented and did the conventional treatment it was too late and she died.

my dad immediately followed every course of conventional treatment that the doctors recommended, ten rounds of chemotherapy and other agonist drugs and an experimental antibody procedure. he still died just about a year after diagnosis.

the lesson to learn is that you will die of cancer sooner or later so who gives a gently caress what you do when you get it. enjoy your life now and quit moaning about the future.

there's some maybe apocryphal story about stebe's doctor crying when he got the lab results back, because pancreatic cancer is nearly always rapidly fatal, but stebe was extraordinarily lucky and had a variant that only occurs like 2 times in 100 and is highly treatable

then he did juices and yoga instead

here's a fun fact: we know fuckall about the type of cancer steve had, or if it is even factual that he could have been treated with a high rate of success

cancer is a motherfucker, even if it is one of the "easier" kinds to treat, and it's pretty loving assholish to laugh at someone if they choose not to undergo the types of treatment required, particularly given their litany of side effects and impact on quality of life

if you're comfortable being the kind of rear end in a top hat that laughs at sick people because they are not golden gods of Logic and Reason that your healthy rear end may be then make peace with being an rear end in a top hat and don't get salty when someone tells you you're an rear end in a top hat

quote:

When he eventually agreed to treatment, Mr Jobs went to great expense to ensure that he was given the most pioneering work available, Isaacson writes, having his DNA sequenced for $100,000 (£62,000).

Isaacson, who interviewed Mr Jobs more than 40 times over two years, states that this allowed Mr Jobs's doctors to tailor his drugs to target defective molecular pathways in his body. But eventual surgery revealed that the cancer had spread to tissue surrounding his pancreas.

I don't think "listen to anyone with any knowledge on the subject" is tough for anyone except the extremely narcissistic so it's funny when those people get owned hard.

but here's the thing: you have no idea what he was told, except through multiple third hand accounts and personally i'm not so full of myself as to assume i have all the facts

and it is pretty loving hubristic for judging someone when maybe, just maybe, they made an imperfect judgement call that may have been motivated by emotion (such as fear or denial) rather than the cold light of Reason that you evidently possess in abundance

at least not literally, but tim would still be running the company into the ground if he had gotten hit by a truck instead
