Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 86, underwent three weeks of radiation treatment for a localized cancerous tumor found on her pancreas.

The Supreme Court disclosed Friday that Ginsburg received treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

According to the Daily Mail, Ginsburg was wobbly after her hospital visit.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was seen leaning on a U.S. Marshal after leaving a New York City hospital for tests, DailyMail.com exclusive photos show.

The 86-year-old’s hand was held by the Marshal as she walked up the stairs into a private residence on the Upper East Side after her appointment at the Howard Laboratory at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital on Thursday.

Ginsburg is a three-time cancer survivor, beating colon cancer in 1999, pancreatic cancer in 2009 and, most recently, lung cancer in 2018.

when is this sorta-vertical Zombie gonna finally retire, anyway?
its embarrassing how she’s still screwing around

[Windflier]

Time to lay the politics aside and practice some basic human compassion.

Feigned compassion is despicable lying, and in my view, serves no one.

Be truthful always, in all things.

My (elderly) sister-in-law was in good health, got this diagnosis, and was gone in 4 weeks.

Want to bet that the puppet-masters behind RBG have a doppelgänger in the wings (if this one isn't one already)?

It is likely the radiation is just to shrink the tumor. Three weeks isn’t much. I’m looking at eight weeks for my prostate. Sounds like she is too weak for surgery. Palliative move?

[hawkaw]

I agree. I would not wish this on anyone.

Panreatic Cancer

[Reily]

True!

Happiness is being left wing Supreme Court Justice

All else id delusion. RBG

[ronnie raygun]

The left are now planning a weekend at Bernies redux to keep her on the bench.

[DuncanWaring]

I’ll feel more compassion for her after she retires.

She had pancreatic cancer in 2009:

They mention the radiation but she also a stent put into her bile duct. I wonder what’s up with that?

Ginsburg is a three-time cancer survivor, beating colon cancer in 1999, pancreatic cancer in 2009 and, most recently, lung cancer in 2018.

Well, it's a pretty sure bet she's not going to retire.

Does anyone here know if there is any sort of procedure or rule that kicks in if a justice is completely incapacitated?

I foresee her in a coma and whomever has power of attorney refusing to take her off of life support just to hold her seat.

[Reily]

Yeah there are 8 justices that kicks in!

[Ozark Tom]

Infused with the blood of youthful donors? Perhaps ‘Blood Countess’ Elizabeth Báthory was not so far off the mark? Search ‘young blood’ as a treatment for aging and ill health.

[databoss]

86 and chemo? That alone could finish her off. Strap in, 2020 gonna be wild.

Weekend at Ruthie’s

[Oatka]

By the time she dies, her entire body will be held together by duct tape and wire, with an old Commodore 64 cpu as a brain.

[Halls]

Pancreatic cancer is a quick killer. I’m sure RBG doesn’t have long. Sad really. But yes, I agree bout the doppleganger. The left will go crazy if she passes away.

[Salvation]

for later.
