WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's cancer was found at the earliest stage and has not spread beyond her pancreas, the court said Friday.

The 75-year-old justice returned to her home in Washington Friday after being released from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, the court said.

The 1-centimeter growth that doctors initially spotted during a CT scan in late January turned out, upon analysis, to be benign. But a second, even smaller tumor found by her surgeon, Dr. Murray Brennan, during the operation was malignant, the court said. Doctors classified the cancer as early stage, or Stage 1.

Ginsburg has indicated she will be at the court when the justices next hear arguments on Feb. 23.

Ginsburg had been scheduled to give a speech Friday on the role of women in reshaping American law at the Rutgers School of Law in Newark, N.J., where she once taught. She had a friend deliver the talk in her place, but added a brief message explaining her absence. "My ability to convey what is on my mind and in my heart has been temporarily tossed off course," she said, in remarks released by the court.



I only wish I could send her a heart!
