 At the time that Pausch gave the lecture , he was a pancreatic cancer patient . In an interview , Pausch stated that he had felt bloated , and learned that he had a cancerous tumor when doctors performed a CT Scan to check for gallstones . He then underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy surgery ( or the " Whipple procedure " ) to try to stop the growth of the cancerous tumor in his body , which later proved to be unsuccessful . The doctors removed his gall bladder , parts of his small intestine , a third of his pancreas , and parts of his stomach , and proceeded to begin an experimental radiation treatment that could possibly increase his chances of survival for another 5 years to 45 percent . Pausch began the radiation treatments in November 2006 and stopped in May 2007 , and felt that he was in good health after finishing . In July and August , tests conducted at Johns Hopkins University showed that Pausch was free of cancer . However , in late August of that year , Pausch informed readers of his website that his cancer had returned , saying : " A recent CT scan showed that there are 10 tumors in my liver , and my spleen is also peppered with small tumors . The doctors say that it is one of the most aggressive recurrences they have ever seen . " The doctors estimated Pausch had three to six months of good health left to live .
