Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg revealed Friday that her liver cancer has returned.
The 87-year-old revealed in a statement on Friday that she began a course of chemotherapy to treat a recurrence of cancer on May 19.
“Immunotherapy first essayed proved unsuccessful,” she said. “The chemotherapy course, however, is yielding positive results.”
Ginsburg said her most recent scan on July 7 “indicated significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease.”
The Supreme Court Justice said she will continue bi-weekly chemotherapy to “keep her cancer at bay.”
Ginsburg refuses to step down from her seat.
“I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam,” Ginsburg said. “I remain fully able to do that.”
