“He’s home and he’s fine,” said a statement from the court’s public information office.
Ginsburg also announced on July 17, after the Supreme Court had completed a highly successful period, that a scan in February had revealed injuries to his liver.
According to his statement, the pancreatic cancer that Ginsburg was treated for in 2009 came back again, this time in the liver, and he tried one of the new cancer immunotherapies, but failed to shrink tumors. The biweekly chemotherapy he’s undergoing is giving “positive results,” he said at the time.
Due to his age and long medical history, Ginsburg’s health has sparked widespread interest given his status as a liberal icon. The possibility that President Donald Trump can appoint a third judge for the Supreme Court would also be a major electoral problem.
Ginsburg has had several episodes of cancer. He received radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer in 2019 and had some tumors removed from his lung in 2018. He had colon cancer in 1999.
