Well that's technically not true. While Steve Jobs did have pancreatic cancer, his was a much less lethal and rare version of the disease. 95% of people are diagnosed with adenocarcinoma cancer and that has a 4% 5 year survival rate. I only know this because a very close family member is currently battleing pancreatic cancer.
Still, to battle any form of cancer and make it 7 years is remarkable.
