It was a very touching interview. My one grandfather died from pancreatic cancer that spread to his other organs. It was a devastating death...it was actually the gangrene that killed him. Watching him rot away at the limbs was horrible. He was a nonsmoker, but he was a functioning alcoholic until the age of...maybe 70, he died at 83. The disease killed him in three or four weeks from dx.

I did not know that Swayze's cancer had spread to his liver. It's a sad tough situation and it was not easy to watch. I am also very surprised about Steve Jobs' survival.
