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.

She’s had years. 1999
Took my Aunt less than a year. Pancreatic cancer is a death sentence.
When you get cancer, your body may be sending you a signal that it’s time to slow down and smell the roses. Ginsburg apparently doesn’t agree.
I seriously doubt she will last much longer. Cancer in 2018 and again in 2019??? Sounds to me like she is on her way out.
The voters need to hear another Kavanaugh style Borking before the 2020 election so it will be fresh on their minds just how underhanded and disgusting the Commie Rats really are: the party that gave you the the original Borking, the Clarence Thomas high-tech lynching, the Global Warming hoax, the Kavanaugh character assassination hearing hoax, the Trump Russian collusion hoax, and now the Epstein prison pedophile murder. They have been busy little lying Commies for a long time.
She would probably be happier if she retired and tried to enjoy what is left of her life, but she feels like she is helping to hold together the world so maybe that gives her a lot of satisfaction. People who feel like they are making a difference definitely have the ability to hang on much longer than those who no longer feel that they have a purpose. If Hillary had been elected she and Sotomayor would have retired almost immediately. Ginsberg would already be dead and forgotten.
Steve Jobs had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that allowed him to live for many years after diagnosis.
Common pancreatic cancer averages 9 months of life after diagnosis.
Everyone knows you can fix nearly everything with duct tape and a larger hammer.
In this case not so much.
forego the duct tape and use the larger hammer.
I am a few months older than she is and would refuse treatment and just go peacefully....with palliative care.
The kind not available to the proletariate...
I believe the 1999 cancer was actually colorectal.
There are several different types of pancreatic cancer for an elderly female. Most are slow growing, not amenable to radiation treatment, generally speaking.
She likely has pancreatic adenocarcinoma, the dreaded type.
It can be treated with radiation:

This is just up Sloan Kettering’s alley.
Indeed so.
Which is why I despise everything about the woman.
I agree. Time to lay the politics aside and practice some basic human compassion.
I wish cancer on no one.
Just as I wish abortion on no child.
—
Really? I wish cancer on every single person who has ever aborted a child.
They fully deserve it.
sorry 2009 Sill long time.
“Trump will be picking a new justice soon.”
I’m not sure I want to see the confirmation hearings for another Trump nominee. However, The next Trump SCOTUS appointee will already know just how low of a road it is that they’ll be taking...again.
And I’d like to know what kind of treatment she’s been receiving all these years. I find it amazing that she can be diagnosed with all these things and she’s still walking, while others get the flu and die. Carter gets a brain tumor, in his 90s, and he seems as fit as a fiddle for a 90yr old. Johnson gets diagnosed with full blown HIV and still walking around like nothings going on.
Interesting that all these “influential” people can come down with some pretty serious conditions and walk away from him.
On a more serious note, it’d be nice if she finally left the court and Amy Barrett were seated. That happens it’s .... Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead
Wonder what would be first on the block....DACA - Voter ID - Birthright Citizenship - Tackle those three and many other things start to fall into place. However, the court is going to need an Infantry Battalion to protect it.
Why are we just finding out now? SCOTUS and the MSM control leaks better than the rest of government.
Another localized tumor?
Not metastasis?
