But at least take the 61% option + all your other remedies then? I'm assuming the 39% failure is "the cancer kills you" and not "the surgery or complications thereof kill you."
I would assume the oncologist in OP has less of a problem with people also doing other stuff they believe helps them, vs not including "traditional" (aka scientific) medical procedures that statistically improve their chances of survival.
I agree completely. I'm only pointing out that it's a messier story than the one we want to tell (Jobs signing his own death warrant by refusing prompt treatment).
How is it not a death warrant? 61% vs 0% (or whatever the percentage was by the time he got conventional treatment?) Look, it was his body and he can do what he wanted, but he made the wrong move in a very obvious and predictable way.
Not to mention the elephant in the room: Vegan diets are probably unhealthy. They lack selenium you'd otherwise get from meats. Low selenium and pancreas diseases go hand in hand.
There's also a link between drinking fruit juices and pancreatic cancers. Jobs constantly drank fruit juices as part of his vegan/fruitarian diet. Fructose megadosing is scary stuff. Healthy sugars and still sugars. They still have calories and still need to be processed.

61% of survival at five years. He survived longer than five years.
