We have a PhD on this forum that writes like a elementary kid.   

The report I heard said that it was a small tumor and localized to the body of the pancreas, with no sign of metastasis. That could be untrue, of course, but if it was caught incidentally and early, there is no reason she couldn't have beaten the odds on this one. The main reason pancreatic cancer is so deadly is that it is rarely diagnosed until it is very advanced.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has just completed three weeks of radiation treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, the U.S. Supreme Court disclosed Friday.

The radiation therapy, conducted on an outpatient basis, began Aug. 5, shortly after a localized cancerous tumor was discovered on Ginsburg's pancreas. The treatment included the insertion of a stent in Ginsburg's bile duct, according to a statement issued by the court.

Doctors at Sloan Kettering said further tests showed no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. The treatment comes just months after Ginsburg was operated on for lung cancer last December. The 86-year-old justice has been treated for cancer in various forms over the past 20 years.

The article contradicts itself. 

A very good friend was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and initially was told they only found dead cancer cells and he had nothing to worry about.   A few months later, he had the same procedure (stent in a bile duct) performed.   Not long after that, he began to have other problems and then it was discovered the cancer had advanced.  He was gone a few months later.  He was a 38 year old man who at the time of the first diagnosis was a healthy, fit guy who ate right and took care of himself.

While pancreatic cancer survival rates have been improving from decade to decade, the disease is still considered largely incurable. According to the American Cancer Society, for all stages of pancreatic cancer combined, the one-year relative survival rate is 20%, and the five-year rate is 7%. 

This belongs with religious cannon and some fairy tales as things people believe in that have no proof whatsoever.

I’m sure you’re the man when it comes to blowing bubbles up a mouse’s ass, or whatever it is you claim to teach, but economics, you haven’t a clue.

If there is no impending recession why is Trumplethinkskin acting as if there is one?  He's asked the Fed for a 0.75% rate cut.  Last time they did one that big was I think 2009.  Now he's looking at payroll tax cuts, which will balloon the deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars.  These are moves you make when the economy is in trouble, not when it's as strong as he's been claiming.

So along with basic reading and writing skills, history and civics, you also have no understanding of basic economics?

If you want to hear any of the democrat presidential hopefuls give a speech on why voter ID is not needed, just attend any of their events.

Of course, to get in, you will need to show an ID..........

I have access to the VA system, but have never even thought of using it. It would be a last ditch desperation move.

 Same here.

If anyone wants to see just how good government run healthcare could be, just go talk to a veteran who uses the VA.

The VA healthcare system is a disaster as well as bureaucratic nightmare.

And ask why Canadians come to the US to purchase procedures rather than have it done under their socialist healthcare system back home.

Another point about government run healthcare for all.  Say the perfessor needs a procedure that will save his life.  A group of non medical bureaucrats will determine if the procedure is "warranted".   They look at his age and determine "Sorry, but under our system you fall outside of the parameters by one month, if you want to appeal the appeal process can take up to one year".  He has six months to live without the procedure.  The bureaucrats say "Sorry, that's the rules......Next!".

Tell me how bad that would suck.
