It was an "isolated" tumor on her pancreas. They think they got it all.
I love her. I wish her to live forever, but she should have retired when we would have been able to safely replace her.
Please, Justice Ginsberg, make a full recovery and stay healthy!

Barack Obama is the first president-elect in 32 years to receive a Congress under the firm control of his party, a powerful political gift that bodes well for the enactment of an expansive Democratic agenda.
But the Democrats fell short of the ambitious election gains they had hoped for and their rivals had feared. Because Obama's party lacks the 60 Senate votes needed to defuse legislative obstructions, Republicans have their backs to the wall but can still make canny manoeuvres.
Given the reality of lasting Republican opposition - and Obama's vow to end the bitter partisanship of the Bush years - Democratic leaders were reluctant to claim unilateral power over the nation's future. "This is a mandate to get along, to get something done ... this is not a mandate for a political party or an ideology," the Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid, said on election night.
Democrats picked up at least six Senate seats and 18 in the House of Representatives, where their hold was already strong. With four intense races remaining too close to call, their 56-vote Senate majority stands to grow in the coming days.
