'It was beyond my wildest imagination that I would one day become 'The Notorious RBG.'' Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg accepts an honorary degree from the University of Buffalo, days after the announcement she'd been treated for pancreatic cancer.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was recently treated for a"localized malignant tumor" on her pancreas, a court spokesperson said Friday.
"When they say 'localized,' it means cancer has not spread outside the pancreas. That in itself is usually a good sign," said ABC News medical contributor Dr. Nithin Paul on"The Briefing Room" on ABC News Live."When it’s a localized cancer, the American Cancer Society says there’s about a 34% chance of surviving to at least 5 years – but that’s a broad number based on studies from a few years ago.
The liberal justice, who has become a pop culture icon dubbed"the Notorious RBG" and a hero for young activists, dismissed concerns over her health in an interview with NPR in July, saying she is"very much alive." "At my age -- 86 -- you have to take it year by year," she said."I was okay this last term and I expect to be okay next term. And then after that, we’ll have to see.” The court will convene in September to consider petitions and begin hearing oral arguments in October.
During his presidency, Trump has already appointed two justices to the court -- Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
