Justice Ginsburg receiving chemotherapy for recurrence of cancer

Ginsburg is 87

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has reportedly been undergoing chemotherapy treatment since May for reoccurring cancer.

The 87-year-old justice made the announcement Friday, as reported first by Fox News.

“I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam,” Ginsburg said. “I remain fully able to do that."

She has suffered a series a health setbacks in recent years.

Earlier this week, Ginsburg was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore, where she underwent an endoscopic procedure to clean out a bile duct stent that was placed last August.

Are they finally going to unplug her for good? It is the 17th. Be a good Q gift.

The liberal justice, 87, has faced a slew of health concerns in recent years. She has previously revealed several bouts with cancer including colorectal, pancreatic and lung cancers.

In Friday's statement, Ginsberg said she began chemotherapy this spring after a periodic scan followed by a biopsy revealed lesions on her liver. The chemotherapy is "yielding positive results," she said, after a July 7 scan indicated a significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease.

Ginsberg said she will continue to receive bi-weekly cancer treatment but is able to maintain an "active daily routine."
