If we are to believe this report from today, then RGB is alive and has completed another round of chemo for yet another tumor on her pancreas.
I don't know what this 86 year old woman is made of, but apparently she has access to medical technology we peons don't. Anyone of her age that has endured everything they claim she has on a physical level and survived has something not shared with the masses, IMO. Do I even want to know?
Some think this is how "they" will finally release the news of her death. They need a reason for her to suddenly become sick, and then die, so the truth of her death last year won't become known to the general public.
Whatever, just get her gone so POTUS can get our new SCOTUS in place.
Does that sound cold? Oh well... my opinion of RBG isn't very high, let me tell you.

Quote:Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg completed a three-week course of radiation therapy to treat a tumor on her pancreas, according to a release sent by the Supreme Court on Friday. The tumor was treated "definitively," according to the statement, and there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body.Read more: Source
The court said that doctors detected the abnormality during a routine blood test early in July and then a biopsy at the end of July at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York confirmed "a localized malignant tumor." Part of her treatment included the insertion of a bile duct stent.
"The Justice tolerated treatment well. She cancelled her annual summer visit to Santa Fe, but has otherwise maintained an active schedule," the statement said. "No further treatment is needed at this time."
CBS News medical contributor Dr. David Agus, a cancer specialist, said radiation "is not a standard treatment for pancreatic tumors," but may be used "in someone who's very elderly and can't tolerate aggressive surgery or chemotherapy."
After treatment targeting the lesion, Agus said, "the hope is it won't recur, although there is a significant chance at some point it will."
Agus also said that the statement that the tumor had been treated "definitively" means it was treated "with the hope that they could cure it." He added, "The problem with pancreatic tumors most of the time is that there are cells elsewhere that we just can't visualize. So it's very difficult to cure them, even if you target them."

Ginsburg, 86, has a history of health problems. In December, Ginsburg had surgery at a New York City hospital to remove two cancerous nodules from her lung. She was also treated last year for rib fractures she sustained in a fall on November 7.
Ginsburg has survived cancer before: colon cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer 10 years later.
Her pancreatic cancer was caught very early and removed successfully in 2009. She was treated for colon cancer in 1999 with a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
