Ginsburg says she is 'on my way to being very well' after cancer treatment

A true superhero

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Saturday that her work on the Supreme Court has “kept me going” through four bouts of cancer — including one disclosed quite recently — and that she is “on my way to being very well.”
...

But before a roaring crowd of what organizers said was more than 4,000 at the National Book Festival in the District, she declared: “This audience can see that I am alive.”...

Moments before Ginsburg took the stage, the students received a shout-out from Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. Hayden recalled telling Ginsburg, “You’ve been called recently the ‘Beyoncé of jurisprudence.’ ”

“I said, ‘Could I say that?’ and she said, ‘I’d rather you say the J-Lo,’ ” Hayden said as the crowd erupted with laughter....

Totenberg asked Ginsburg about her health, and why she was not resting for the coming term in October rather than making public appearances.

“I will be prepared when the time comes,” she said. “I love my job — it’s the best and hardest job I’ve ever had,” Ginsburg said. “It’s kept me going through four cancer bouts. Instead of concentrating on my aches and pains,” she concentrates on the work, she said.

Looking forward to it almost as much as when I went to see James Taylor, lol.
They have moved the venue twice due to the high demand for tickets.
As much as I can’t wait to see her, part of me wishes she wouldn’t expose herself to such large crowds....

Packed house at Verizon Arena. I have attended many concerts here that did not attract as large a crowd.
