'There was a senator, I think it was after my pancreatic cancer, who announced with great glee that I was going to be dead within six months. That senator, whose name I have forgotten, is now himself dead, and I am very much alive.'
Associate Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg sharply noted that a lawmaker who once celebrated her cancer diagnosis has since died while she is"very much alive."
The 86-year-old Supreme Court justice has survived three bouts with cancer. In 1999 she was treated for colon cancer and in 2009 she was treated for pancreatic cancer. Her most recent health scare was in December, when she underwent surgery for lung cancer. She was back in the Supreme Court just weeks after the procedure.
Ginsburg told NPR that it was her work on the high court that helped get her through those illnesses.
