Apple CEO Steve Jobs is receiving treatment at the same cancer clinic as did Patrick Swayze in his final days. Jobs was photographed outside the Stanford Cancer Center in Palo Alto recently.

The Apple CEO and co-founder, 55, has been regularly attending the Palo Alto cancer treatment center as confirmed by Radar Online. It’s the same facility where Swayze sought radical chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer before his death in September, 2009.

Jobs came forward publicly about his battle with pancreatic cancer in 2004. He also took time off to recover from surgery to treat a very rare form of pancreatic cancer — an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor.

It’s unknown whether Jobs’ current health battle is related to his liver transplant in 2009, or whether the pancreatic cancer he previously defeated has returned, or if there is a new health issue.

Jobs announced on January 17 that he was going on a medical leave. This is his third leave of absence due to his illness since 2004.

Steve turns 56 on February 24th. May we all pray for a speedy and complete recovery for Jobs.
