双语：揭秘乔布斯胰腺癌 When Jolie Dingle went for a routine scan 20 weeks into her pregnancy, she expected nothing more than images of her unborn baby. But the ultrasound also revealed something else — a large swelling on her spleen. 　　朱莉·丁格尔怀孕20周时查出肝脾肿大。 　　Within days, Jolie, 33, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, had been diagnosed with cancer. Tests showed it had started in her pancreas and spread beyond the spleen to her stomach and kidneys. 　　约克郡巴恩斯利33岁的她随即查出胰腺癌，已从脾脏扩到胃和肾。 　　Yet despite the shock of a cancer diagnosis, Jolie can count herself lucky. Cancer of the pancreas — a pear-shaped organ about 6?in long that lies deep inside the body between the stomach and the spine — is notoriously difficult to spot. 　　震惊之余，她堪称幸运。众所周知，胰腺癌很难查出。 　　That’s because, in the majority of cases, it produces no symptoms until the malignant cells have migrated throughout the body and already caused irreversible damage to other organs, such as the liver or kidneys. Despite being more than halfway through her pregnancy, Jolie had little choice but to undergo emergency surgery to remove a tumour which, it turned out, had grown almost as large as a football. 　　总是直到恶性细胞扩散全身引起肝肾等器官的永久损伤，胰腺癌才有症状。朱莉只得切除足球般大小的肿瘤。 　　When they told me I had cancer, I thought my baby and I were both going to die,’ says Jolie, who has her own hairdressing business and is married to Jason, 43, who runs a decorating company. 　　朱莉经营美发生意，嫁给43岁装修公司老板杰森。“得知患癌，我想到了孩子，我们就要死了”，她说： 　　I’d not heard of pancreatic cancer and, to be honest, I didn’t even know what the pancreas was or where it was in the body.’ 　　“我甚至不知胰腺为何物。” 　　Jolie and her now eight-month old son, Theo, both survived the surgery. 　　她和8个月的儿子西奥挺过手术。 　　But had she not had a pregnancy scan, doctors said, the cancer would almost certainly have killed her and her baby too. 　　医生表示若朱莉没做孕期检查，母子可能已经病逝。 　　As a survivor of the disease, Jolie is a member of a very small club. It is widely regarded as one of the most lethal of all tumours, killing around 97 per cent of its victim
