Did you just hear or read that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg has gotten good news after treatment for a tumor on her pancreas? No Evidence of Disease - NED.

Greg, I immediately thought of you. In 1999, she had colon cancer. In 2009, she was diagnosed with early stage pancreatic cancer. After a fall in November 2018 where she broke 3 ribs, the CT scan about her ribs showed that she had cancerous nodules in her lung and a left-lung lobectomy. Then in August 2019, she reported a cancerous tumor on her pancreas and had 3 weeks of radiation. That's 4 times diagnosed with cancer. And Judge Ginsberg is 86.

Sometimes, we just have to believe. Other's have faced terrible odds, and yet, they survive. All of us at WhatNext believe in the power of your doctors and the support of your wife.

    Wow! I know somebody who had a history of colon cancer who is now mid-90 years old. Something has to be done to prevent the re-occurrence of this devastating expensive disease. It sounds like they successfully maintained her reoccurrences by removing identified cancer tissue and removing it.

    Agree that we need her desperately. I wonder if she’d have retired awhile ago, otherwise.
