Compared to other forms of pancreatic cancer perhaps, but none of the 10-year survival rates for any of the pancreatic cancer variants I am familiar with is "excellent" no matter how you look at it. Given that Jobs lasted at least eight years after initial diagnosis it seems he was already on the upper end of the survival curve. Claiming, as Dunning did, that were it not for actions taken during the first months after diagnosis Steve Jobs would be alive today is a claim that Dunning is woefully unqualified to make.
