Ruth Bader Ginsburg Being Treated For Pancreatic Cancer

Breaking now on CNN.

While it is scary it is not unfixable if Trump just stacks the supreme court. Once you get a Dem majority they can vote to increase the number of judges to make it even or even stack it.

It's crazy to me that so much of what a country is and will become in the coming decades hinges on a single justice surviving. Pete has the right idea of stacking the court with 15 judges, with five affiliated with Democrats, five with Republicans, and five apolitical justices chosen by the first 10. I wonder if RBG still feels strongly opposed to that plan in these (final) moments?

Not to mention the evil moronic assholes who voted for Trump

and the trolls who went third party

Do you really think the Democrats are going to get full control in 2020 election? We have to likely pick up 4 Senate seats since we'll certainly lose Dough Jones in Alabama.

If Trump gets to replace Ruth which sadly is looking very likely, this will give him that extra fucking boost with conservative voters. They will care even less now about his evil and unhinged antics. They'll love that he got 3 SC picks

“No evidence of disease” (NED) is not the same thing as “cured.” NED is no visible disease/tumors. It’s pretty certain she has many nasty cancer cells floating around her bloodstream looking for new organs to set up shop in. Especially since she only had radiation to the tumor itself, not chemo to kill any systemic cancer cells.

by Anonymousreply 34August 23, 2019 7:32 PM

I have a neighbor, late 70s, with pancreatic cancer. They told her she's too weak for surgery but she's been having chemo on and off for well over a year and she's doing well. It hasn't spread. She had breast cancer about 15 years ago.

I hope and pray and hope someone is listening to those prayers that she stays well and can hold on working until 2021 and that we have Democrats in the Senate and of course a Dem in the WH.

We have never needed a member of the SC more. Besides, I think she's a good person and want her to live and be well for that reason too.

r19 you really need to go waaaay back to the 1980's when everyone was so happy that Uncle Ronnie was giving them easy credit, even Dems, that they weren't paying attention to much of anything else. Lee Atwater's Southern Strategy continued the work of driving a racial wedge through America. The "malaise speech" Jimmy Carter talked about

[quote]The threat is nearly invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will. We can see this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation.

was prompted in part because of consumerism and materialism and how it was taking over the country. It then took deeper root in the Reagan years as greed became good or god, and has continued to this day. If you start back in from Carter's speech until now you will see truly how tragic a march it has been to this moment.

So many good people just opted out because their lives were okay enough that they didn't have to give a shit.

by Anonymousreply 53August 23, 2019 8:17 PM

The most concerning thing about the SC statement is that, once again, RBG has been declared disease-free. If they had just said that the cancer was being controlled or was temporarily in remission or something like that I would feel more optimistic

As others have pointed out, NED does NOT mean “cured.” No visible tumors but she likely has many little cancer cells floating around which are not visible but will come back as more tumors. Especially since she did not have chemo to eradicate those cells, only radiation.

In fact I would bet the reason for that is that she’s Stage IV and they don’t give chemo to Stage IV cancers because it’s no use at that point and the toxicity of chemo outweighs any benefit it could have. They do radiation only at that point and it’s palliative, not curative.

I have honestly lost count at the amount of times she's been treated for a fatal cancer and then the doctors go "but she's all clear" or whatever. It's BS. Unless RBG is literally not human and is some sort of superhuman, there is absolutely NO WAY she can keep going on with the amount of cancer she has had... Think of how fast Patrick Swayze went, and he was what, a THIRD of this hag's age?! And I'm sorry, but that's what she is!! This selfish hag has fucked everything up. She should have quit under Obama as she was already VERY old and had SEVERAL bouts of cancer then. It's absolutely ridiculous that she wasn't FORCED into retirement then!! No other country allows people who are at DEATH'S DOOR to keep such an important position!

It's pathetic that so many people's civil rights/equal rights/human rights rest on the fragile shoulders of one octogenarian. This has to stop.

The thing about cancer is that it grows best in cells that divide rapidly. Very few cells divide rapidly in people over 80, therefore cancer generally grows more slowly in the elderly than in young people.

From an NIH bulletin:

"Cancer of the elderly exhibits slower growth because their body already has a slower rate of cell development than those of young ones"

We all need to send positive thoughts in RBG's direction praying for slow cell division!!

[quote] Democrats need to learn. Everyone is complaining, rightfully, about RBG’s age and how she’s too old. But then the two Presidential frontrunners are Biden and Bernie...each older than dirt. And don’t forget youthful Nancy who is in charge of the House at age 79.

[quote] Whether or not she stayed on too long, we need her now and to be safe I'll say until after January 2021.

Are the both of you retarded? I think you are. Yes Biden and Bernie are old, they also don't have PANCREATIC CANCER

Urgh. I had a dream only last week that RBG had passed away - not that that means anything at all, but I woke up feeling like shit after that dream. Hopefully she'll just keep going on - she appears to have great drive and stamina.

Please stop directing this bad energy to this woman. Save your hate until with any justice in this world a Democrat is in the White House and Democrats are a majority in the Senate, please God, in 2021. Then you can hate her all you want. You know if she's still alive she will quit on her own if the SCOTUS is once again in safe hands. For now I wish with all my heart that she once again survives.

And don't forget to vote for whoever is nominated for president and the Senate who has a D next to their name. Please don't care who it is. If he or she is a Democrat and you have one shred of decency please vote for him or her. It takes so little to save this country and the lives of so many, maybe even your own. We need to make sure we are never in this situation again, where the life of one poor, sick elderly woman is so important to everything.

I said if things were safe, like no Trump, no Republican run Senate. Everything safely Democrat. Then she will quit. If heaven forbid Trump wins again and the Senate stays Republican controlled it won't matter. Just kiss everything you and I care about goodbye. Be prepared to see armies of hungry, homeless, sick and dying people all over the streets of this country. See many more mass killings, no place will be safe. Be ready to see even the already lousy food/water supply we have turn to pure poison. See the animal kingdom be destroyed. If these past years have been the way the Republicans act when they still have something to lose, just think of what they'll do when they have nothing to lose.

What do you think will happen when they take SS, SSI, SSDI, food stamps, medical care and every thing else that helps people barely survive away? What will happen when the gun situation gets much worse, when with instigation from Trump the race wars escalate. Think how dangerous out food and water supply is now, imagine when the rest of the regulations are removed and also removed from keeping products safe.

They will do what they did before those things, it will go back to the private sector where historically it has done a much better job. You only have to look to the Salvation Army and Catholic Charities to see their success rate to the state's blatant failure rate.

r169 is an idiot. Before the minimal safety net we have, it was routine for indigent people to starve to death. You think the Catholics did a great job, read about the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland. The salvation army on record as being unwilling to help gay people. Are you really that stupid or are you some sort of paid troll? There are also economies of scale. What happens if a flood destroys hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in one state, and you're expecting the local religious charities to fill the gap? They won't have money either. The advantage of having a large country with diverse climates and diverse industries is that there are enough resources from undamaged areas to help with areas that are damaged. We're undergoing hurricane watches now. Money collected from areas that don't experience hurricanes are going to help areas that are affected. In survey after survey, the happiest people on the planet are those in which the government has a sturdy, well-supported safety net for all of its citizens.
