U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said today she is receiving chemotherapy for cancer but tolerating it well and has no intention to retire, Reuters reports. 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 began chemotherapy on May 19 and will continue the treatment on a biweekly basis. At 87, Ginsburg is the court’s oldest and second-longest serving justice. She experienced a bout with lung cancer in 2018, colon cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer in 2019.
