Pete Williams, NBC’s justice correspondent, says that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has undergone more treatment for cancer.
She had out-patient radiation treatment for a malignant tumor on her pancreas. The treatment started August 5th. A bile-duct stent was put in place.
The Court says that there’s no evidence of cancer elsewhere in the body, and no further treatment is needed at this time.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is not going anywhere, as long as she is alive.
I’m going to go drink heavily now. Actually, screw it, I’m sure I still have some opium hidden around here somewhere.
