Yes, pancreatic cancer is one of the incurable cancers. All they can do is slow it down, buy you about a year. It seems that their has been an uptick in the number of cases of pancreatic cancer in the last few years. I wonder why.

Could care less about this baby-killer.

The most recent pics of her I saw......she was looking VERY frail.

[Jrabbit]

Somebody just as left as she is, no doubt.

[Monkey Face]

Now if they could just find a way to inject chocolate with the morphine.... ;o]

[machogirl]

Bill Clinton?

[Kieri]

Somebody just as left as she is, no doubt.

Obama has his own "litmus test" for office -- they have to be a tax cheat.

Where's that so-called judge that sued a small dry cleaner for $67 million for a pair of pants? He's be a GREAT USSC judge in Obama's book. / sarc

Oooooooo baby baby!

"Patrick Swayze is the only victim of it I’ve seen survive as long as he has."

Randy Pausch lasted about 2 years after having a Whipple procedure. He's the "last lecture" Carnegie Mellon professor, worth watching on youtube.

Yes, very ugly, it got my Mom. Awful way to go.

That depends on what type, where it is, and what stage.

Some types caught early have survival times of decades.

Adenoma of the pancreatic head, the most common kind, is the super quick lethal one.

So...she’s either going to croak or retire. Get ready for SCOTUS appointment #1 under Obama. God help us - and prayers for Ginsberg too.

Patrick Swayze

Steve Jobs.

Also, Pavrotti survived 2 1/2 years.

[Jackson57]

No ill will intended, but she’s probably known about it long before the election. She’d have gone on life-support before she’d let Bush appoint another SC Justtice. She’ll be stepping down VERY shortly now that The One can appoint.

That being said, I hope God has mercy on her soul.

I suppose you blame the lack of gun control for the 14000 annual murders in the US.

Apples and oranges. Gun control attempts to limit access to a piece of equipment; abortion laws attempt to punish or prohibit an act that kills an innocent child.

The correct comparison would be, "I suppose you blame the lack of laws against murder for the 14000 annual murders in the US."

And if we repealed all laws against murder, I sure would.

[null and void]

I wonder if this is actually pancreatic cancer, or metastasized colon cancer?

I think that would be a less grave diagnosis.

[LibLieSlayer]

If one cannot say something nice... don't... so I will not say anything.

[PISANO]

BHO will find it very difficult to find a more LEFTIST Supreme Court Justice than Ginsburg.

Sooner or later [probably sooner] she will step down and it is very likely that the center-left make up of the court will likely remain the same.

[Monkey Face]

;oþ

[PEACE ENFORCER]

I give her less than a year. Good thing Barry is POTUS.
