U.S. Supreme Court's Ginsburg undergoing treatment for cancer recurrence

She said she is tolerating the chemotherapy treatment well and that it is yielding positive results. "I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that," she said.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at 87 the U.S. Supreme Court's oldest member, said on Friday she is receiving chemotherapy treatment for a recurrence of cancer, the latest in a series of health issues.

In a statement released by the court, Ginsburg said that a periodic scan in February, followed by a biopsy, revealed lesions on her liver. She said she is tolerating the chemotherapy treatment well and that it is yielding positive results. "I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that," she said.
