The thing about cancer is that, in many cases, the disease doesn’t kill you, the cure does.
From WSJ...
WASHINGTON—Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday completed a three-week course of radiation for a malignant tumor on her pancreas, which was “treated definitively,” the Supreme Court said in a statement.
The court said that there was “no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body,” and that Justice Ginsburg, 86 years old, “tolerated treatment well.”
I find the wording odd. Seems very guarded to me. Pancreatic cancer is tough. When looking at definition, you can see that there is more than what is being reported (potentially). Here’s what I found:
definitive treatment
The treatment plan for a disease or disorder that has been chosen as the best one for a patient after all other choices have been considered.(National Cancer Institute)
I don’t personally wish her ill. My family history is riddled with cancer, and my wife had a scare two years ago (she is okay now with less than 2% chance of getting the same cancer). BUT, this bird is a disgrace to the Court and she obviously thinks she is SO important that she is going to die in her chair at the court. Hell .. 3/4 of the time during oral arguments, she LOOKS like she has died in her chair!
Time to GO, Ruth Buzzi!
Sad. Please retire Ruth. For the good of the nation.
(Close friend of Antonin Scalia so I’m not going to trash her more than that)
The deepstate will do whatever is required to keep Trump from getting another court pick this term. They will do the weekend at Bernie’s if they have to.
I think it would be hilarious if she came out and refused to die before President Trump left office. Then promptly, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Stephen Breyer dropped dead, showing that death has a sense of humor.
Deep State is scouring the land for a look-alike as we speak. Time to cover until Trump is gone.
“And she could have two or three years left in her”
No chance. My speculation is this tumor relates to metastasized cancer from the previously treated lung cancer.
That combined with the extremely poor prognosis concerning pancreatic cancer and her advanced age all add up to a relatively short time left for her on this earth.
She likely has 6 months as an absolute best possible scenario, odds on less.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg today completed a three-week course of stereotactic ablative radiation therapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. The focused radiation treatment began on August 5 and was administered on an outpatient basis to treat a tumor on her pancreas. The abnormality was first detected after a routine blood test in early July, and a biopsy performed on July 31 at Sloan Kettering confirmed a localized malignant tumor. As part of her treatment, a bile duct stent was placed.
The Justice tolerated treatment well. She canceled her annual summer visit to Santa Fe, but has otherwise maintained an active schedule. The tumor was treated definitively and there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. Justice Ginsburg will continue to have periodic blood tests and scans. No further treatment is needed at this time.
Are they trying to remove the RBG from the cancer?
If she succumbs to room temp next year, will the turtle pursue DJT’s nominee?
If she were NOT a purely political animal, with her clearly poor health and mental outlook she would’ve retired years ago. But RBG decided to wait for Hillary to be elected, to give both of them that oh-so-important symbolism of women replacing women.
Sorry it didn’t work out for either of them.....
She needs to go
The statement releasing this information to the public was drafted by lawyers. So as always, look at the words that the statement used. “Is” is and all of that.
The statement says: “[n]”o evidence of disease elsewhere.”
Elsewhere.
Meaning, the tumor is still in the pancreas, and has obstructed the biliary duct to the extent that a stent needed to be put in.
They only did radiographic ablation, not surgery.
Most likely, such a treatment is only for palliative purposes.
For those of you wondering, best guess is 3 to 6 months, once the cancer has occluded the biliary tract.
That’s in an otherwise healthy individual, not an 86 year old.
Let’s hope she retires gracefully, enjoys her last days and sees the goodness in our country.
SO while she was having treatment for the past 4 months the fake news media was telling us she was in perfect health...
I don’t think she will live six weeks. I hope trump has a good pick—I bet a woman would be good and one without a spot on her record. This could be an Earthshattering event. Another Conservative would swing the tone of the Court for a decade.

The end will be OUR beginning, praise God.
