People who have pancreatic cancer....typically don’t live more than ten years after their treatment, and that’s the folks with great health and stamina. So no shock.

I personally think that Justice Thomas has a date circled on his calendar for summer 2019 to go and have coffee with President Trump and announce his retirement. To have both seats in some filling action and both go to Conservatives, would give the President a massive ‘trump-card’. He could go and dictate he wants every single empty judge position filled in 30 days or he’ll go for a conservative-filler on Ginsburg’s seat.

Thanks for that.

My college friend aged 78, fell from a ladder last week. He also broke three ribs and had a cracked pelvis. He was placed in ICU.

You have given some insight as to why IVU.

My wife immediately ordered me not to get on a ladder again.

Yeah, well, SoreASS is way up in his years also. Mad Maxine Waters and Her Heinous ain’t exactly spring chickens. Neither are Bernie “Free shyt for all” Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, among others. Zeke Emanuel, one if the brains behind 0bamacare said there’s no reason why anyone needs to live past 75. Using this standard, they would be well past their expiration dates. Perhaps they should put their money where thekr collective mouths are and set an example for the rest of us, retire and put their affairs in order and show us how it’s done.

The Mob was so certain they would win/steal the presidency in 2016 that they allowed her to stay on the court. I’ll bet Barry would tell you not replacing her in his last term was one of the biggest mistakes he has ever made.

Ouch....so very painful....P>Sorry....don’t think she’ll recover. This will probably lead to pneumonia.

It'll be a whole different bag because it will be a woman.

The Dems will have to place nice-nice despite their evil inclinations.

Ribs, of course heal in about 6 to 8 weeks. Problem at her age would be pneumonia.

She was dx’d ages ago & the prognosis is not good. That she continues to work is amazing.

Dude, what planet are you from?

iIt was announced as pancreatic cancer in 2009. Not sure why someone would lie about that. Mistaken maybe, but lie?

Time to retire. Past time to retire.

Her husband is gone, her children have their own lives. Her work keeps her alive, and she knows it well.

You believe her pancreatic cancer in 2009 is fake?

If she had the same very rare form of pancreatic cancer that Steve Jobs had, it has about an 80% cure rate, measured as over 5 years of survival. So it is possible that she has survived 9 years if she had the rare form.

Jobs was diagnosed in 2004 and died in 2011, so he almost was considered "cured."

If she was diagnosed with the common form of pancreatic cancer, then yes it was fake because for the common form of pancreatic cancer, the 2 year survival rate is 0%.

I only know because I studied it after my mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She lasted 9 months after diagnosis.

I wore a special belt for a long time to keep them from spazzing when I sneezed or coughed.

I think that is fake news. She does not have pancreatic cancer.
