Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Ruth Bader Ginsburg speaks during the Cinema Cafe with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Nina Totenberg during the 2018 Sundance Film Festival at Filmmaker Lodge on January 21, 2018 in(AP) - Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Saturday shes alive and on her way to being very well following radiation treatment for cancer.
Ginsburg, 86, made the comments at the Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington.
It is the fourth time over the past two decades that Ginsburg, the leader of the courts liberal wing, has been treated for cancer.
She had colorectal cancer in 1999, pancreatic cancer in 2009 and lung cancer surgery in December.
Earlier this summer, however, she reported a conversation she had with former Justice John Paul Stevens, who retired from the court in 2010 at age 90.
