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.”

For her, that would have been a quite minor operation.

Pancreatic cancer is not incurable. If it was I’d be dead.

The classification as incurable is based on treatment programs from five years ago or more. The chemo cocktails are consistently refined. What people are getting this last year is yet to have statistical results. I am “Path C-R” from a four chemical cocktail for stage three stomach cancer. They totally removed my stomach and no cancer was left, only a scar where the large tumor had been. Turns out I am a particularly juicy target for my four chemical blast I went through a few months back.

I will get some more chemo later as belts prevent embarrassment when suspenders fail, but Ginsburg has been with Sloan Kettering and thet is the mixologist center for these cocktails.

Most likely the whipple procedure would not be performed because of her age and health status.

She can’t die fast enough for me cause that’s the only way she will quit inflicting her anti-American, progressive communist Moloch worshipping ideology on the USA. She is a domestic enemy.

Nothing is bad enough for her. Virtue signaling will not undue the thousand of lives she has helped destroy.

What the heck treatments she gets as opposed to the rest of the ordinary people in the nation? We should demand to know.

Hard on you, but I prefer to think God called your sister home to be with Him sooner rather than later. Her work here was finished.

JMO, but I think those of us still here fall into 2 categories.

1. Those with a job to do. (The Lord still has plans for us here. Note to self: Get busy!)

and

2. Those who haven’t yet accepted Him. (They’re still here, being given a new opportunity every day to change their evil ways.)

Rumors said she was “on ice”. Later rumors said ICE stands for a chemo cocktail she was getting.

Rose, I agree with you, and give you my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your sister. I too lost my sister to cancer last March, and she was 5 years younger than me. It’s hard. We don’t know why the wicked prosper, but we do know God is in charge. We’ll understand some day. Bless you.

Cancer declares itself to be Ruth Bader-Meinhoff Ginsburg.

Ditto your comment. I have two family members that died from pancreatic cancer. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Ginsburg beat it at 86, that’s one tough woman - that’s for damn’ sure.
