Ruth Bader Ginsberg has pancreatic cancer

God bless her, but liver cancer means metastasis and it is usually the kiss of death. The most aggressive treatment would probably not even give her another year based on my experiences with it.


When she finally passes (if she ever does) I hope there can be a study of her DNA because oh my goodness, is she tough.

...she has had a pretty incredible run versus cancer going back to 1999.....pretty fortunate that 2009 pancreatic was operable because usually it is not.....colon, pancreatic twice, lung and now liver...….

 

by Kristin Reynolds  —  Aug 23, 2019   PCAN

Ginsburg was diagnosed with early stage pancreatic cancer in 2009. She had no symptoms of the disease – it was discovered during a regular checkup.

She had surgery to remove the body and tail of her pancreas, along with her spleen. Afterward, Ginsburg said the experience gave her “an enhanced appreciation for the joys of being alive.”

This summer, a tumor was detected on her pancreas, and a biopsy was performed.

Ginsburg has had four bouts with cancer, including colon cancer in 1999 and, in late 2018, cancerous nodules were removed from her left lung.

Radiation therapy is one of several treatment options for pancreatic cancer.

The goal is to stop the tumor from growing or to shrink it, while not harming the healthy organ or tissue nearby. Radiation therapy is used to treat small, localized tumors within the pancreas.

Conservatives certainly should hope a seat opens before the election, and that Mitch moves quickly to fill the seat with a candidate that the dems will quickly move to disembowel. 

 

All the best to RBG and I certainly hope she's pain free and doing well. 

Exactly, no honor on your side at all. Do as you clowns say not as you do. 

 

Republicans are just classless 

 

This is why Dems should move quickly and add PR and DC as states,

...first, battling her FIFTH bout is unconscionable.....the mother of one of my buddies beat brain cancer and one other, eventually passing at 91 but cancer free.....and don't give the Scalia thing without being DEAD HONEST that the Dems would have done the same damn thing......hopefully NOT, but if Ginsberg significantly declined between now and November, should she retire or be steadfast until her last breath?....what would be in the best interest of the Court and country?.....trying to answer objectively is well beyond your purview....SMH...

Based on what I've seen from the left, if Ginsberg starts to significantly decline and she is found to have difficulty functioning both physically and mentally on a daily basis, the next course of action will be to have her retire from the bench so she can be Biden's running mate.

  From the perspective of advancing her ideals she should have retired while Obama was President.  Then a like minded replacement could have been chosen.  While I have no personal ill will towards RBG it was her own ego that put a seat on the SC in jeopardy for liberals.

I have no idea what you're attempting to say about honor and class, but that's ok, I'm certain you don't know what you're saying either.  

 

Why would a conservative voter want a conservative senate to wait until after election season to appoint a conservative judge?   Feel free to substitute "liberal" for the words underlined if it helps you wrap your head around your silliness.

...he has NEITHER....he's a broad brush labeler...........it's the same 'ol "always attack...never defend" position due to ineptitude to engage in constructive dialogue....I'm an independent leaning conservative, yet the clown broad brushes most thread posts as "Republicans are classless"....and I NEVER said anything derogatory or political about the woman's health issues......

Who in the Administration said they wouldn't?  BTW, you rail about no honor and classlessness by Republicans, but then say, 'when Scalia croaked', that's why you're thought of as a hypocrite.

...what if Justice Ginsberg, a four time cancer survivor (now battling #5) had sadly passed leading up to Obama's re-election bid?.....do you SERIOUSLY think as the clown suggested regarding Scalia that the Dems would have waited then until after the election?.....he once again solidified his position as a PPP fraud, equal action out of BOTH sides of his mouth.....

Why should he?

 

He invoked the Biden rule in 2016, and the liberals screamed bloody murder. I'm sure they're going to be totally fine if he listens to them and goes forward with a nomination in 2020.

Tough woman.

 

The Conservative in me wants her to retire and be replaced with a Conservative judge.

 

Whatever the case may be, whether she stays, retires, Trump wins or Biden wins, I hope she somehow beats this again and lives to be 100.

And there it is. We should give DC and PR statehood for political purposes. ***** doing it so those living there have proper representation.

Well, the idiots on the left didn't like it when the Biden rule was used in 2016, so McConnell should placate them by not invoking it again, should the unfortunate happen.

All this is true, stents are replaced  if need be, but it not as routine as they make it. 
 

In a very elderly patient you would try to avoid 

ANY replacement unless you needed to,
to avoid possible infection. 
 

It sounds like she had some blockage which necessitated the revision

This just goes to show that if RBG can officiate a wedding after treatment for cancer at her age, there is no reason why you cannot vote in person. She is the definition of "at risk" with her age and her health issues.

And Pelosi is 80 and her stint to the salon sans-mask shows that the people in power don't believe Covid is a threat. 

 

Anyone still locking themselves down after these two examples are happy being serfs.

If DC became a state, would they need to elect a governor? How would you parse out duties between the governor and the mayor of a 1 city state? This was legitimately my shower thought this morning 😂

It would be a City-State, so governor and Mayer would be one and the same, maybe. ??
