The 87-year-old Ginsburg, who spent time in the hospital this week for a possible infection, said her treatment so far has succeeded in reducing lesions on her liver and that she will continue chemotherapy sessions every two weeks.
"I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that," Ginsburg said in a statement issued by the court.A medical scan in February revealed growths on her liver, she said, and she began chemotherapy in May. "My most recent scan on July 7 indicated significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease," she said. "I am tolerating chemotherapy well and am encouraged by the success of my current treatment."
Ginsburg, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton and joined the court in 1993, has been treated four times for cancer. In addition to the tumour on her pancreas last year, she was previously treated for colorectal cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer in 2009. She had lung surgery to remove cancerous growths in December 2018.

Woman is a incredible example of inner strength.
It's long overdue
Needs to retire and be replaced with a conservative judge.
Miserable old cow
Your not takeing your money with you...Retire already enjoy yourself..
The establishment loves her cause she’s very pro killing unborn babies, and selling off their organs/stem cells.
US politics in a nutshell
She is so pacionate about what she does
Same goes with Canada’s liberal govt
Do cancers sometimes retire?
If she looked into a mirror maybe she will get scared to death.
Well deserved. She loved killing unborn babies.
It’s all about politics - has been for her for years
Why retire when your not working anyways
