quarter three post two

today, i read an article called "Justice Ginsburg Has Surgery for Cancer."

This article is about Justice Ginsburg, the only woman on the supreme court, having surgery for early pancreatic cancer. Ginsburg is seventy five years old and is now at a memorial center in new york and is most likely going to stay there for a few weeks.

Pancreatic cancer is probably one of the worst cancers you can get. It is very rare, and very difficult to survive. And to have it as a seventy five year old woman, must be difficult. Not only does Ginsburg have to overcome the traumatizing moment when she learned of this deadly cancer in her body, but she has to deal with everything coming up. Like, what happens if the surgery didn't work? Are they going to try again? I can't even imagine how complicated her life must be right now. To know that something is killing you inside must be terrible. Hopefully the surgery worked.


want to read the whole article?
