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.

If you know anyone who has undergone chemo, you’ll understand the term ‘chemo-fog’. Do we really want someone in the middle of that on the highest court in the land?
Bless your sister. One of my best friends had it and didn’t make it to 35. So sad.
Agree!
“...The funny thing is that evangelicals as a voting group are far more supportive of Israel ....”
When I point that out. The response is “They just do that because they want to convert me!”. The I say, “If you say I don’t want to be converted. Don’t you think they will just walk away? Disappointed maybe but walk away!”. At this point most get mad at me and say “You don’t know what it is to be a Jew or Jewish!”. Then I drop the topic!
Good to hear oncologists making progress treating pancreatic cancer. How fast is the progression typically?
By the time she dies? I’d say that’s what it pretty much is right now.
Her age is NOT in her favor, plus this is recurring and will be VERY AGGRESSIVE!!!
I prayer the Cancer survives RBG
I don't know. Alex Trebek seems to be beating it.
According to the American Cancer Society, for all stages of pancreatic cancer combined, the one-year relative survival rate is 20%, and the five-year rate is 7%. These low survival rates are attributable to the fact that fewer than 20% of patients’ tumors are confined to the pancreas at the time of diagnosis; in most cases, the malignancy has already progressed to the point where surgical removal is impossible.
They nuked it probably meaning surgical removal is impossible.
True. Some of live longer than others.

Trebek's Wikipedia page:
On March 6, 2019, Trebek announced that he had been diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. In a prepared video announcement of the diagnosis, Trebek noted that his prognosis was poor but that he would aggressively fight the cancer in hopes of beating the odds and would continue hosting Jeopardy! for as long as he was able, joking that his contract obligated him to do so for three more years.[59] Trebek updated the situation in May 2019, stating that he was responding exceptionally well to treatment and that some of the tumors had shrunk to half their previously observed size; he credited the prayers and well-wishes of his fans for the better-than-usual results. He will undergo several more rounds of chemotherapy in hopes of pushing the cancer into full remission.[60] Trebek hopes to beat the odds as only 3% of patients with stage 4 pancreatic cancer are still alive 5 years after being diagnosed.[61]
don’t be dissing on the C64 now, it had WAY less ‘fuzzy logic’ than that Leftist buzzard.
Her time is counted in weeks at best. No time for anything.
The median is more like three months.
5%/Five years.
It is usually not detected until its too late. If they found it through blood tests, they have been looking. Its not a common blood test.’
Normal treatment is radiation/chemo then surgery. She will go home and probably get chemo there. If she does not get chemo, the tumor hasn’t responded and she is done.
She probably cannot tolerate chemo at her age and health state. She will not last long.
Its not a good way to go.
A saying from inside the Evangelical community:
The safest place on Earth for a Jew is sitting at the dinner table of an Evangelical.
