- If you think about Steve's recent medical history this makes pretty good sense. He thought he was Ok, then found he had pancreatic cancer which has an abysmal survival rate, then he disappears for a bit and comes back looking pretty good then he starts to thin out. If I had to guess, I'd say he had his pancreas removed. Now he's trying to live without one which is possible but hard. He'd have to use an insulin pump our other insulin source such as injections or the new inhaled version, and he'd have to take enzymes that would act like the enzymes that he pancreas puts into the intestine to absorb nutrients (fats and proteins). As you might imagine it is pretty hard to mimic the actions of the pancreas with pills and injections. It is not an enviable position to be in but at least he's not dead.
