Ruth Bader Ginsburg declares she’s ‘cancer free’
Washington Post ^ | Jan. 8, 2020 | Colby Itkowitz

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has declared she is “cancer free,” beating the disease for the fourth time after undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer in the summer.

The 86-year-old justice, one of the oldest to serve on the Supreme Court, offered the health update to CNN in an interview in her chambers Tuesday evening.

“I’m cancer free. That’s good,” Ginsburg said, with CNN reporting that she was “sounding energized and speaking animatedly.”

I saw an interview with him in which he alluded to “Right To Try,” I’m wondering whether his last treatment was experimental or he’s planning ahead.
POTUS got no credit, of course.

It makes me sick that so many that I love a care about get cancer once, maybe twice and die. Why aren’t Ginsberg drugs and treatments available to us regular Americans? She’s obviously getting some pretty serious drugs. I’ve never heard of anyone surviving cancer 4 times.

“Does this woman eat babies or something?”
No, but she must bathe in the blood of virgins. On the bright side, that’s a scarce commodity in D.C.

This reads like a press release from one of the old Soviet style totalitarian regimes when their big shot would be near death but kept from the people. I can just hear Castro and his lackeys saying the same dreck. Sorry, snowflakes, but she’s dead before the year is out.

I have noticed that the politically well connected and powerful, not always the same, have much better outcomes in their treatment.

Good for her. We are getting better at treating solid tumors. Five year pancreatic CA survival is about 9%.

To keep that cancer from coming back, wouldn't it be a good idea for RBG to retire, reducing the stress in her life?

I have seen the same thing. I used to have my own term for it which I don’t recall right now. But a new medication pain or other type gives some temporary strength then things go downhill fast.

Some observations on RBG cancer saga.

Maybe she has had 4 seperates cancers, the first 3 slower and completely cured.

First colon cancer. Treated and lucky for her a post cancer bloodtest caught a pancreatic cancer. This first one not adenocarcinoma and treated and cured. This @ 2009.

In 2018 lung cancer detected and a lobe removed. Not a metastases from the earlier pancreatic cancer.

In August 2019 adenocarcinoma pancreatic cancer detected and given radiation treatment for 3 weeks. This could be stage 1 or 2 and local. No surgery needed which would be whipple.
Radiation could have been CyberKnife which are higher burst treatments.

A bile duct Stent was put in. No surgery at this time so could have been endoscopic. IIRC 3 months later this Stent was removed along with tumor growths and two stents put in. The tumor growths occurred beyond the original radiation treatment.

This last cancer is probably her death sentence. No Whipple surgery or chemo yet. Very lucky with screenings after the lung cancer that it was caught early.

Not in medical area, just trying to make some sense of this cancer in our judicial system.

I agree...I feel like the wealthy or someone like her would have access to state of the art cures/ remedies. I wish all people were at least told about them so they can “try” to get it themselves.

I’m so sorry Rose! I feel for you and I also cry out for His justice because I see the same thing. These people seem to carry on and live forever while good and kind and Godly people don’t seem to have 9 lives... sad

I’m calling BS on any claim that this decrepit commie has pancreatic cancer, or EVER has. You don’t just “recover” from pancreatic cancer — over and over! I don’t know what the game is but I’m sick of hearing about her multiple miraculous recoveries. FAKE NEWS”

Hyman Roth has been dying from the same heart attack for over 25 years...
