Apple CEO Steve Jobs Thanks Donor - 9/9/2009- Video on thanking the liver donor- NO MENTION OF WHY HE NEEDED A LIVER ?

HERE IS A RECENT VIDEO OF STEVE JOBS AT THE ANNUAL PRODUCT LAUNCH CEREMONY FOR IPOD AND COMPUTERS IN SEPT 2009....

ITS INTERESTING, BECAUSE HE LOOKS VERY SKINNY AND GAUNT.
 IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT DURING THE SPEECH, HE ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT THIS LIVER TRANSPLANT, THANKS THE DONOR, AND ASKS MORE PEOPLE TO BECOME A LIVER DONOR (DID YOU KNOW ONE CAN DONATE A PORTION OF YOUR LIVER, AS ONE DOES A KIDNEY?) 

ITS WONDERFUL TO SEE THIS BRILLANT MAN IS ALIVE, AND KICKING, AND DOING WHAT HE LOVES IN LIFE.

HE ALSO  MENTIONS HIS HEALTH (SEE PRIOR BLOG ON APPLE/STEVE JOBS CORPORATE MENTALITY) IN THE MEETING.

HOWEVER, AND FORGIVE ME IF AM NOT SENSTIVE HERE BUT 9 YEARS OF THIS SHIT HAS GOTTEN TO ME. HIS TALK OF ORGAN DONAR MISSES THE REAL POINT......WHAT CREATED THIS HELL FOR HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE AND WHY NOT MENTION IT?

HIS DISEASE HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT IN MANY ARTICLES, INCLUDING A NUMBER OF ENTRIES ON THIS BLOG.

STEVE JOBS HAS NEUROENDOCRINE CARCINOMA CANCER WITH THE TUMOR IN THE PANCREAS, WHICH WAS THE CAUSE OF HIS CANCER RELATED LIVER FAILURE (THE TUMORS DISPLACED HIS LIVER........(BTW, IT WAS COMING AFTER ME ALSO, MY TUMORS HAS COVERED 60-70% OF MY LIVER! I WAS ALSO IN A LOT OF PAIN (THE LIVER HAS A "CAPSULE" COVERING IT AND IS FULL OF NERVES-- TOUCH IT, ENLARGED LIVER DUE TO TUMORS FOR EXAMPLE- AND ONE SEES STARS W/ THE PAIN***).

ALSO, TUMORS WILL SHUT YOUR LIVER DOWN WHERE IT IS UNABLE TO ELIMINATE THE POSION IN YOUR BODY, AND EVENTUALLY YOU DIE A VERY NASTY DEATH!
THIS IS ONE OF THE AREAS THIS DISEASE ATTACKS FIRST IN ITS EFFORTS TO KILL YOU, AND IT WOULD HAVE IN MY DEATH (OR THE SMALL INTESTINES,OR THE BONES OR THE LOWERING OF WBC DUE TO THE CANCER, OR ...)!

MR JOBS CANCER IS CALLED AN ISLET CELL CARCINOMA, I THINK, AND IS A SLOWER GROWING TYPE OF THE DISEASE, THAT IS WHY HE IS ALIVE SO MANY YEARS AFTER THE INITAL DIAGNOSIS.

MR JOBS IS BLESSED TO ALSO HAVE THE RESOURCES TO HAVE ACCESS TO CUTTING EDGE SURGERIES, AND ADVANCED IMAGING & SCANS.
HE WAS RUMORED TO HAVE GONE TO THE COUNTRY OF CHILE FOR A PETW/GALLUIM 68 AND CT SCAN, TO ENSURE HE DID NOT HAVE TUMORS OUTSIDE HIS LIVER. IF SO, THE TRANSPLANT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FEASIBLE.

OUT OF COUNTRY SCANS ARE NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE, WHICH TYPICALLY PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD.

MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN HIS REMARKS IN THE MEETING, AND HIS STATEMENT, WAS THE OMMISSION IN THE STATMENT, RELATIVE TO THE LIVER TRANSPLANT.  THE LIVER FAILED DUE TO HIS PANCREATIC CARCINOID CANCER WHICH METASIZED TO HIS LIVER.
FORTUANTELY, SO FAR, IT HAS ONLY GONE TO HIS LIVER, AND THEREFOR, HE WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE A LIVER TRANSPLANT, WHICH HAPPENS, BUT RARELY, TO PEOPLE WITH NET TUMORS.

I WISH HIM AND HIS FAMILY THE BEST. HE ACTUALLY IS ONE OF THE MOST BRILLANT PEOPLE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN MY BOOK!

HOWEVER, FROM SUCH A PLACE AND POSITION, I CAN NOT "FIT" WHY HE DOES NOT DO MORE, OR SOMETHING, AN YTHING, FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE DYING, SUFFERING AND STUGGLING WITH NET DISEASE AND AFFORD THE TREATMENTS AND SCANS NECESSARY TO STAY ALIVE WITH THIS INSIDIOUS DISEASE.

AS NOTED IN MANY STUDIES ON HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA, WITHOUT  RESOURCES, MR JOBS MAY NOT BE ALIVE TODAY, AS THIS IS A COUNTRY WITH A MEDICAL SYSTEM BASED ON MONEY!

"KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY HEALTH CARE"?!?!

MY INPUT, AND DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE SPEECH; HE MENTIONS THE LIVER TRANSPLANT, BUT OMITS TO MENTION THE REASON WHY HE NEEDED A TRANSPLANT IN THE FIRST PLACE!?

 JUST BRAINSTORMING HERE, BUT WHY NOT TAKE 30 TO 45 SECONDS AND STATE:
" I NEEDED A NEW LIVER AND GOT A TRANSPLANT!
HOWEVER, THIS LIVER FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN INSIDIOUS CANCER, NEURENDOCRINE CARCINOMA/CARCINOID, WHICH STARTED IN MY PANCREAS. I WAS ABLE TO AFFORD THE BEST TREATMENT AND ALSO GOT A "gold standard" PET SCAN IN AN OUTSIDE COUNTRY,  NOT AVAILABLE IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY, TO DETERMINE MY CONDITION AND ADDITIONAL CANCER AREAS. THIS SCAN CONFIRMED I QUALIFIED FOR A LIVER TRANSPLANT,."
"PLEASE, SUPPORT CARCINOID CANCER FOUNDATIONS & RESEARCH CENTERS, AND THEIR EFFORTS TO FIND A CURE AND TO BRING THERAPIES AND TREATMENTS TO THIS COUNTRY THAT CURRENTLY ONLY THOSE WITH THE RESOUCES ARE ABLE TO UNDERTAKE. WRITE CONGRESS, SENATE, THE PRESIDENT AND THE FDA AS TO WHY CUTTING EDGE TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES, BUT NOT AN OPTION HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. "

"DUE TO THIS CANCER, WHICH HAS CAUSED ME SO MUCH MISERY AND PAIN AND EXPENSE, AND WHICH DOES THE SAME FOR THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, I RECEIVED A LIVER TRANSPLANT AND AM BLESSED TO NOW HAVE A NEW LIVER!
LET'S FIND A CURE AND BRING THE TREATMENTS AND TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO OTHERS WITH THIS DISEASE OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY!"

HERE IS THE VIDEO......BTW, AS NOTED BEFORE.



I DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING RELATED TO APPLE INC DUE TO THE SILENCE, WHICH I FIND INCOMPREHENSIABLE.

ITS JUST ME, AS I POST MY DAMN SCAN ON MY "INNARDS" ONLINE TO HELP OTHERS. 

AS NOTED, HE IS A "PRIVATE MAN" WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO GLORIFY IN GLOBAL MEETINGS FOR HIS COMPANY, AND HE DOES WHAT IS RIGHT FOR HIM, HIS FAMILY, COMPANY AND SHAREHOLDERS.

HOWEVER, I TRUST THAT OTHERS WILL RESPECT MY INPUT, AND RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHERE ONE SHOULD MAKE A STATEMENT...

.ITS ONLY ONE PERSON, GOING BANKRUPT AND STRUGGLING TO STAY ALIVE AFTER 9 YEARS WITH THIS DISEASE, BUT I WILL MAKE MY VERY SMALL STAND FOR MY OWN SELF.....WITH THIS DISEASE AND THE PAIN AND AGONY IT CAUSES---

I AM AGAINST  .......INDIFFERENCE! WHEN PEOPLE ARE DYING!
