How sick is Steve Jobs? Very, according to Bloomberg News. The financial site is reporting that the Apple CEO is looking into a liver transplant to help with complications from his bout with pancreatic cancer.
Jobs, of course, step aside earlier in the week, citing a hormone imbalance. Aple COO Tim Cook has taken over until his planned return in June.
According to the site, patients with his condition can live up to 20 years from original diagnosis.
Jobs, for his part, has maintained his position of not speaking with the press on the matter. Asked by Bloomberg to comment during an interview today, he answered, "Why don't you guys leave me alone--why is this important?"

My heart goes out to Steve Jobs. My concern though with the liver transplant would be his taking all those immunosuppressants post-transplant. Seeing as he is "prone" to cancer, it seems the conditions that these drugs would create would be prime for a recurrence. Plus, he's so weak to start with how would he tolerate such an involved surgery and recovery? If they remove his pancreas too he'll be on dialysis forever. Seems however you slice it, it's not going to be a pleasant scenario for Steve.
