Even adrenochrome can't save her. If you have pancreatic cancer, it quite literally means cancer has spread everywhere. Ginsburg was 76 years old when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It should be noted that more than half of all cases of pancreatic cancer are first diagnosed at stage 4. For Pancreatic Cancer the SEER Database has the following data: Localized – 5-yr Relative Survival Rate is 34% Regional – 5-yr Relative Survival Rate is 12% Distant – 5-yr Relative Survival Rate is 3% All SEER stages combined – 5-yr Relative Survival Rate is 9% Age affects the recovery of cancer patients. The older a cancer patient the less likely their survival. Even if the 5-yr. Survival Rate is 34% elderly age will affect this.  In 2018, the 85 year old Ginsburg was diagnosed with lung cancer discovered after she broke her ribs in an apparent fall. The extent of Ginsburg’s injury was not clear at press time. Rib fractures are common among older adults, particularly after falls. The severity depends in part on whether the ribs are cracked or broken all the way through, and how many are broken. It is reported that surgery was performed to remove the lower portion of her cancerous left lung. It was not reported however, what type of lung cancer was found. It is most likely that the cancer found in the left lung was a lung metastases. Lung metastasis is cancer that started from another area (i.e. colon, pancreas) and has spread to the lung. It is not the same as cancer that starts in the lung (called primary lung cancer). Not everyone with lung metastases can have surgery. It depends on the size, number and location of tumours, how well the primary cancer is controlled, your overall health and other factors (like age). Ginsberg is reported to having surgery though. Indeed, it was most likely not a primary lung cancer, but rather a lung metastases. For an 85 year old woman, her survival from surgery has to be remarkable. I am not factoring in her broken ribs, which would also be a concern to perform surgery. Now this? Stomach virus? Is it really or are they still chasing the spread of cancers?
