Last year at this time, Ginsburg was recovering from lung cancer surgery and missed several weeks at the court. She finished out the term in June. Soon after, she discovered a cancerous tumor on her pancreas, which was treated in August, and she resumed her active schedule.
Sounding energized and speaking animatedly, she told CNN on Tuesday that her year was off to a fine start: "I'm cancer free. That's good."
Great news. On a semi-related tangent, I was listening to a story on NPR while driving in yesterday that said the % of cancer-related deaths has plummeted in recent years. They didn't go on to speculate on why that was so, but I wonder whether some of these fancy genetically influenced cancer treatments are part of the good news.
