Ginsburg’s latest hospitalization follows the four-time cancer survivor’s announcement in January that she is “cancer-free” after undergoing two treatments last year.
Ginsburg, who’s open about her cancer battles, revealed last year that her work int he Supreme Court actually helps her beat the disease. She stated, “I love my job. It’s the best and the hardest job that I have ever had. It’s kept me going through four cancer battles. Instead of concentrating on my aches and pains, I just know that I have to read this set of briefs, go over the draft opinion. I have to somehow surmount whatever is going on in my body and concentrate on the court’s work.”
