Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has just completed three weeks of radiation treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, the U.S. Supreme Court disclosed Friday.

The radiation therapy, conducted on an outpatient basis, began Aug. 5, shortly after a localized cancerous tumor was discovered on Ginsburg's pancreas. The treatment included the insertion of a stent in Ginsburg's bile duct, according to a statement issued by the court.

1. Oh please, oh please be okay.

Last time was lung cancer, this time pancreatic cancer. But she's a strong lady. And my uncle survived pancreatic cancer; if he can, she can! Hopefully.

2. The last time

It was pancreatic cancer that spread to the lungs. This is her second bout with PC.

5. Are you sure that the lung tumor was pancreatic cancer in origin?

I haven't seen that anywhere else, though I know she had pancreatic cancer a few years ago.

3. As bad as the consequences will be, it's time for her to rest. So sorry.

7. We're fucked

This is just the worst news ever... next to Trump being re-elected.

9. This is a "localized" type of pancreatic cancer.

The type my uncle survived...and he had had stomach cancer previously. So, I'm trying to be hopeful.

8. Sadly, she is not immortal and people were expecting too much from her considering her health.

Trump may get to fill another SC seat.

10. Did I misread? Follow-up to previous treatment and prognosis is good?

That was my takeaway when and looked at the article on my phone, but I don't think it was NPR source.

11. It's confusing but the article clears it up

Her first cancer scare was her lung cancer. Thank the universe she's out of the woods on that cancer.

Now she has pancreatic cancer which is just now being revealed, after her first treatment -- she's having a 2nd treatment for it. Thankfully, it's the more contained type of pancreatic cancer.
Fingers crossed.

12. Let it be known that I am taking very good care of myself so that my body

can be harvested for organs for RBG

13. Hopefully

she can hang on for another few years. Pancreatic cancer is tough though. Killed my favorite guitarist in about 8 months.

14. Yes, it is tough.

It killed a great democratic friend of mine, one of the few in this area, about 10yrs ago.
