Ruth Bader Ginsburg released from hospital after surgery for lung cancer - Washington Examiner
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been discharged from the hospital after undergoing surgery to remove two cancerous growths from her left lung, according to the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said Ginsburg, 85, was released from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York on Tuesday and is recuperating at home.
Ginsburg had a pulmonary lobectomy Friday after the nodules were discovered in her left lung in November. The growths were discovered while Ginsburg was undergoing tests after she fell and fractured three ribs.
While the modules were found to be malignant, thoracic surgeon Valerie Rusch said there was “no evidence of any remaining disease” after her surgery.
Nominated to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993, Ginsburg has never missed an argument.
Ginsburg has had two previous bouts with cancer — in 1999 she was treated for colon cancer, and in 2009 she was treated for pancreatic cancer.
