So, here's a quotation from Jim Bunning regarding Justice Ginsburg's illness:
"Bad cancer. The kind you don’t get better from," Bunning went on. "Even though she was operated on, usually nine months is the longest that anybody would live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer."
My mom herself lived 11 months after the diagnosis. The treatment for Pancreatic Cancer right now depends upon when its been diagnosed. If it's metastatic, then Bunning is right, but if not and is operable (which is the case with Ginsburg), she can live at least a couple more years. What angers/bothers me about this is that it encourages a misunderstanding of the prognosis of Justice Ginsburg and also shares a misunderstanding of pancreatic cancer which is one of the deadliest cancers. So, Rep. Bunning, please get your info right if you're going to go to press.
