Last Saturday, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Banes Ginsberg had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in her pancreas. She underwent the surgery at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. After the surgery, doctors thought that the operation went well and they were "cautiously optimistic" about her condition, according to cnn.com.
Ginsberg had a colorectal cancer operated on in June of 1999. During that stay in the hospital, she continued to do legal work from her bed and never missed a single day on the Supreme Court Bench. Although she certainly has not enjoyed these experiences, Ginsberg said that they have given her a new perspective on life, "...there is nothing like a cancer bout to make one relish the joys of being alive. It is as though a special, zestful spice seasons my work and days. Each thing I do comes with a heightened appreciation that I am able to do it."
