The Supreme Court revealed Friday Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments for liver cancer since May.
"On May 19, I began a course of chemotherapy (gemcitabine) to treat a recurrence of cancer. A periodic scan in February followed by a biopsy revealed lesions on my liver. My recent hospitalizations to remove gall stones and treat an infection were unrelated to this recurrence," Justice Ginsburg released in a statement "Immunotherapy first essayed proved unsuccessful. The chemotherapy course, however, is yielding positive results. Satisfied that my treatment course is now clear, I am providing this information."
"My most recent scan on July 7 indicated significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease. I am tolerating chemotherapy well and am encouraged by the success of my current treatment. I will continue bi-weekly chemotherapy to keep my cancer at bay, and am able to maintain an active daily routine. Throughout, I have kept up with opinion writing and all other Court work," she continued. "I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that."
Earlier this week, Ginsburg was hospitalized overnight for an infection. She was released and is doing well.
"Justice Ginsburg was admitted to The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland early this morning for treatment of a possible infection. She was initially evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. last night after experiencing fever and chills," the Court released in a statement Tuesday. "She underwent an endoscopic procedure at Johns Hopkins this afternoon to clean out a bile duct stent that was placed last August. The Justice is resting comfortably and will stay in the hospital for a few days to receive intravenous antibiotic treatment."
all this focus on Buzzy’s RBG health should put more focus on Sleepy Joe Biden’s dementia and clear mental and physical decline.
it should also more unify the R’s and L’s about the stakes of this election
The cries of millions of aborted babies are crying out for vengeance even now. Her future is nothing to be envied.
Did she have chemotherapy or are they injecting her with embalming fluid?
“She’s been dying of the same Cancer for the last 20 years.”
Saddened she didn't join Dingle in hell 😆 🤣
i seriously dont think she’s worried about that.
I’m pretty sure that experience bears it out that when a cancer patient that is also a celebrity makes a public statement like this, the end could be but days away.
Now that’s just sad. But you’re probably not wrong either.
She’s fine. Yeah right. Chemo at her age for liver cancer. The cancer is spreading.
As long as Trump is President, Ruthie will die as a Supreme Court Justice. Her staff will be doing the work for her, even if she’s unconscious.
Once she does die, I fully expect her to be ‘freeze-dried’ and propped up in her SCOTUS chair. (only somewhat joking here).
My fervent hope is that she survives until next year when President Trump can nominate a successor - woe to all if she dies prior to the election .... the screams and resistance from the Left will be deafening, that Trump should leave the nomination to the person who wins the election. If Biden should win, Ruthie will be “outta there” in a flash.
She does not have Obamacare.
Mr President, immediately begin vetting replacements and be ready to instantly send a name to the Senate once she is out. Time is critical!
Gemcitabine
but was Scalia’s bestie.
Would McConnell be consistent with not holding hearings in an election year?
“Shes pretty much Lying by not talking about it when it happened. Covering up. Who knows what else she is not disclosing.”
EXACTLY! Very cryptic release. Lies by omission. She DOESN’T say anything about “other” cancers. She doesn’t say “liver cancer”. She says “cancer”. Lesions ON HER LIVER doesn’t mean she doesn’t have cancer elsewhere.
I think she is not long for this world. She WILL “run out the appointment clock” on this presidential term.
Just one MORE reason that President Trump MUST be reelected!
The report is written in fluent weasel-ease, but out of respect for the office and for fear of reprisal I shall keep my mouth shut.
Republicans better keep an eye on RBG from now to Election time! Make sure no funny business is going on!
Don’t worry. She has ghost writers for her opinions.
