 Doctors initially told Kennedy the tumor was inoperable , but he looked around for other opinions and decided on the most aggressive and exhausting course of treatment possible . On June 2 , 2008 , Kennedy underwent brain surgery at Duke University Medical Center in an attempt to remove as much of the tumor as possible . The 3 ½ -hour operation , conducted by Dr. Allan Friedman while Kennedy was conscious to minimize any permanent neurological effects , was deemed successful in its goals . Kennedy left the hospital a week later to begin a course of chemotherapy and radiation treatment . Opinions varied regarding Kennedy 's prognosis : the surgery typically only extended survival time by a matter of months , but sometimes people lived for years .

 In October 1974 , Nixon fell ill with phlebitis , the inflammation of the walls of a vein . Told by his doctors that he could either be operated on or die , a reluctant Nixon chose surgery , and President Ford visited him in the hospital . Nixon was under subpoena for the trial of three of his former aides — Dean , Haldeman , and John Ehrlichman — and The Washington Post , disbelieving his illness , printed a cartoon showing Nixon with a cast on the " wrong foot " . Judge John Sirica excused Nixon 's presence despite the defendants ' objections . Congress instructed Ford to retain Nixon 's presidential papers — beginning a three @-@ decade legal battle over the documents that was eventually won by the former president and his estate . Nixon was in the hospital when the 1974 midterm elections were held , and Watergate and the pardon were contributing factors to the Republican loss of 43 seats in the House and three in the Senate .

 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 .
