Judge Ginsberg gets the most 'extraordinary' medical news

[Stinky The Clown]

The tumor was benign. In removing it, they found a second area that was cancerous, but so very early that it was successfully removed. Had she not had the benign tumor, the cancerous area would not have been found and excised.

(reported on MSNBC .... no link, but try here if you need one: www.google.com)

[barbtries]

1. wow

that would be like a dream coming true. it was benign. wow.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

6. The first tumor was benign. The second was malignant but contained and small.

[roguevalley]

26. awesome. a reward for her power of goodness. :)

[CatWoman]

9. double wow!

I didn't know that type cancer was so devastating until I read it here on DU.

DU - your "one stop" center for news, weather and sports :)

and here's the best for the justice.

a long life to her :toast:

[grasswire]

13. it is devastating. My mother was dead 60 days after diagnosis.

And there was a lot of pain.

[merh]

37. Hey TahitiNut

you need to go check this thread out - one of your posts is part of the doctoral dissertation.

:hi:

[TahitiNut]

44. "this thread"? You mean boobooday's dissertation?

Yes ... I've checked it out and scanned it. I'll try to read it all when I get the chance. To be associated with the "agonistic" sorta appeals to me. But then again I am a nut.
:silly:

[merh]

52. duhhhh

I forgot to post the link. sorry

Dr. boobooday knew what she was doing.

[XOKCowboy]

46. My mom was given 4 months...

but hung on for 10 months. She lived on Morphine and her grandkids.

[w8liftinglady]

51. my dad died a few weeks ago 4 months after diagnosis

he looked like a concentration camp prisoner at the end.It is a horrible disease.

[Bertha Venation]

55. I'm so sorry, w8liftinglady

:hug:

[villager]

2. Presumably the rightwingers will call this good news the sure hand of God?

[cherokeeprogressive]

25. Just as surely as they would have said it was God's Will had the worst come to pass. n/t

[hlthe2b]

3. Maybe there just may be a God.... Thankful for this news...

Be well, Judge Ginsberg. We need you.

[leftyclimber]

4. Wow. That's tremendous.

My FIL was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer shortly after Christmas. The tumor is encapsulated but inoperable. The only reason they found it when they did was because he had a gall bladder attack. His oncologist got him enrolled in a clinical study that appears to increase life expectancy; here's hoping.

All the best to Justice Ginsburg.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

48. hoping!!

for the very best
:grouphug:

[mountainvue]

23. Here's to the health of Justice Ginsberg. n/t

[surrealAmerican]

32. Here, here.

:toast:

[Fly by night]

24. If the malignant tumor was also on her pancreas, the news is not good.

Five year survival for pancreatic cancer hovers around 5%. I have one neighbor who lasted about six months with the diagnosis, but another who is still alive after ten years. (The second one told the doctors to remove the chemotherapy IV lines and feeding tubes or he would do it himself. He's still kicking. I do hope obstinance increases cancer survival. If I ever get it, that will be my only recourse too.)

[TahitiNut]

27. Her name is spelled "Ginsburg"

[applegrove]

28. That is good news. Pancreatic cancer seems to be the cancer of this decade. Many people suffer from

it at this point.

[ThomWV]

29. God has always been on the side of Liberals - this just just more proof.
