The Supreme Court revealed Friday Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments for liver cancer since May.
"On May 19, I began a course of chemotherapy (gemcitabine) to treat a recurrence of cancer. A periodic scan in February followed by a biopsy revealed lesions on my liver. My recent hospitalizations to remove gall stones and treat an infection were unrelated to this recurrence," Justice Ginsburg released in a statement "Immunotherapy first essayed proved unsuccessful. The chemotherapy course, however, is yielding positive results. Satisfied that my treatment course is now clear, I am providing this information."
"My most recent scan on July 7 indicated significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease. I am tolerating chemotherapy well and am encouraged by the success of my current treatment. I will continue bi-weekly chemotherapy to keep my cancer at bay, and am able to maintain an active daily routine. Throughout, I have kept up with opinion writing and all other Court work," she continued. "I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that."
Earlier this week, Ginsburg was hospitalized overnight for an infection. She was released and is doing well.
"Justice Ginsburg was admitted to The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland early this morning for treatment of a possible infection. She was initially evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. last night after experiencing fever and chills," the Court released in a statement Tuesday. "She underwent an endoscopic procedure at Johns Hopkins this afternoon to clean out a bile duct stent that was placed last August. The Justice is resting comfortably and will stay in the hospital for a few days to receive intravenous antibiotic treatment."
Isn’t liver cancer a death sentence of not operable?
She’s had cancer and recurrences of cancer for the past quarter century.
I don’t know of a more wicked individual that hates our president so much that she would rather serve in her office through immense agony rather than simply retire and live out her years in relative comfort, then to let congress choose her successor and give Trump a conservative court.
George Soros must have bought a tremendously expensive quid pro quo with Ruthie.
I pray for her every day.
Is there still time for another DJT appointment?
tell me when it actually happens. not interested in these medical bulletins.
She will die before she retires..its here life
“”””Is there still time for another DJT appointment?””””””
Not a chance this year.
Not before the election
So, she and “they” have known about this since February?
And they say there is a free press...
Time? Maybe. Votes? No.
Yep. She’s highly unprofessional and unethical
She should’ve been forced to recuse herself time and again
The Constitution needs to be amended for Federal Judges
No more lifetime appointments Too senile plus damage to the country
stats are all over the board. and they only do 5-year survival rates for the stats
basically between 15-22%, depending whose stats you look at
She was expecting a Hillary win. She would have retired immediately and Hillary would have filled the seat with another knee-jerk leftist and feminist.
Now she’s trying to hang on until November. I have to admit, she’s loyal to the team
Again?
figure she’s getting practice for the real agony awaiting her
Hope she recovers. Regardless of who wins in November, I think she will probably retire next year.
She’s pretty much Lying by not talking about it when it happened. Covering up. Who knows what else she is not disclosing.
she is not going to retire
she will die on the bench
Ginsburg will outlive Ghislaine Maxwell.
