RGB says her cancer has been responding to her chemo therapy.

Her statement here:

She said she had begun a course of chemotherapy on May 19, after “a periodic scan in February followed by a biopsy revealed lesions on my liver.”

“Immunotherapy first essayed proved unsuccessful,” she said. “The chemotherapy course, however, is yielding positive results. Satisfied that my treatment course is now clear, I am providing this information.”

Snip-

On Friday, she said a July 7 scan showed the liver lesions had been significantly reduced. “I am tolerating chemotherapy well and am encouraged by the success of my current treatment,” the statement said.

“I will continue biweekly chemotherapy to keep my cancer at bay, and am able to maintain an active daily routine,” she said. “Throughout, I have kept up with opinion writing and all other court work.”

This seems encouraging.

2. I hope so. I will NEVER forgive those so-called progressives who refused to vote for Hillary in the

general election in 2016

7. Fuck anyone that didn't vote for Hillary in the general election.

Fuck them forever.

I kept screaming the Supreme Court at the top of my lungs!

3. Good to hear more details.

[herding cats]

11. It's not nearly as dire as the breaking news headlines

She's actually doing alright. Thankfully!

[Nevilledog]

16. Exactly. I was thinking they just found out when she was in the hospital this week.

Hope you're doing well.....

[herding cats]

17. I'm well.

I hope you're well, too.

[Nevilledog]

18. Hanging in there.

4. I LOVE this woman.

If the countless numbers of Americans who likewise feel that way accounts for anything, she should surely have a miraculous recovery.


Stay with us, Ruth. Be well. Be happy. Be strong.

[herding cats]

12. She's the strongest woman out there!

She's literally tough as nails!

5. Sorry that the immunotherapy treatment

didn't do it for her. But each case is different, and I agree with you - this news was actually positive.

[still_one]

13. I hope so. Everything is so unpredictable. The SC starts the first week in October

This is cutting it very close

[herding cats]

15. Yes, she's responding to her treatment and tolerating it well.

All good news!

[Dem2]

6. Good news

I feel compelled to ask: am I the only one who thinks "keep her on life support though January" if she was to go into a coma?

14. With guards beside her door

to keep McConnell's vultures from trying to unplug the system.

[Tipperary]

20. I hope you are.

That is ugly.

[Dem2]

21. So if the worst were to happen

You'd want tRump/McConnell to appoint a justice right before the election?

[Tipperary]

22. Wow.

Whiff.

[Dem2]

24. It's all part of a possible reality

I think most liberals have to imagine all scenarios in their head, no?

[Tipperary]

19. You go girl.

My hero..
