Quote from tomahawk:
This may be a little off topic, but the ironic and perhaps sad thing is that some of the things related to his success - his hubris / demand for having things done his own way and believing he always knew best - were probably what killed him. If he'd only listened to the experts from the beginning and had his surgery as soon as he was diagnosed instead of wasting 9 months on alternative methods he more than likely would've been cured of this rare and treatable form of pancreatic cancer. Very unfortunate.
I doubt it. Perhaps he lived that long b/c he refused to see the experts (fully licensed physicians). Remember folks, doctors have the poorest health out of any professionals. Why would you go to them to get cured?
