Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had two malignant nodules removed from her left lung Friday at a New York hospital, CNN reports.
“There is no evidence of any remaining disease, says a court spokesperson, nor is there evidence of disease elsewhere in the body.”
NPR: “Short of complications in recovery, doctors say prospects look good for a full recovery for Ginsburg, 85. She hopes to be back on the court for the start of the new term in early January.”
