Hey, prime members, you can listen to business movers, add free on Amazon Music, download the app today.

It's October 2003 at Steve Jobs' home in Palo Alto, California.

Steve lingers in his backyard under the night sky after taking a long walk.

He's enjoying a quiet moment before he goes inside.

Because he knows as soon as he walks into the house, things won't be nearly as peaceful.

A week earlier, Steve was diagnosed with a rare form of slow growing pancreatic cancer,

and tonight he's made a major decision about his treatment.

Against his doctor's advice, Steve has decided not to undergo surgery to remove the tumor.

His wife, Lorine, has been pushing him to set a date for the surgery,

and now he has to tell her that it won't be happening.

Finally, Steve steps inside, where he finds his wife, Lorine, waiting for him.

How's your walk? Good. I figured some things out.

Steve knows Lorine is eager for him to undergo surgery to remove the tumor,

but he needs to tell her that that's not the plan, and he decides it's no use beating around the bush.

One of the things I figured out, Lorine, is that I'm not going to have the surgery.

When you talk about Steve, I want to explore alternatives.

Lorine pushes Steve to think differently in his creative life.

She knows that following his own path has led to some of his best ideas,

but when it comes to his health, she would prefer Steve listen to the experts.

Steve, do you know how lucky we are that they discovered this so early?

The doctor said with the surgery, you have a real chance of beating this.

There is no alternative. No, that's not true.
