Any news on his treatment for his pancreatic cancer? Did he have Chemo or is he still having some form of treatment?

The reason is, not sure if anyone else noticed, but his health was shakey at this years MacWorld Expo. He was off and sickly, although this may have just been a cold or something else unrelated to his "cured cancer." It definately was not the usual Steve Jobs. He was coughing and looked tired.

He didn't have prostate cancer. He had pancreatic cancer. Fortunately he had the rare, treatable version. As of about six months ago he was given a clean bill of health, if I remember correctly.

There was a thread recently concerning Steve's health. Speculation ran rampant, concerning everything from his coughing at MacWorld to everyone's opinion on how frequent his bowel movements have been recently.

Why the concern over a cough or the look of fatigue? Cured cancer patients can get colds too, you know.

Until we hear more information I agree with .
