Justice Ginsburg home from the hospital

February 13, 2009

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has gone home from the hospital.

And in a most fortuitous non coincidence, the tumor identified on CT scan that prompted the surgery was benign – but another tumor (<1 cm) was discovered and found to be malignant. The diseased portion of the pancreas and a part of the spleen were removed.

It was deemed Stage 1 – no spread into the abdomen, lymph nodes or other organs.
