Pancreas cancer is particularly difficult. One of the highest mortality rates. Time for her to retire.  Long past actually.

This is the second bout of pancreatic cancer she's had.  TV doctor said it's doubtful her previous pancreatic cancer is related to this tumor, since the first has been in remission for a decade.

"She was treated for colon cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer in 2009, had
a coronary stent implanted in 2014 and broke several ribs in a fall late last year."

Un-fortunately her continued suffering is also

I know the Billy Joel song: Only the Good Die Young.   :rofl:

Mother Theresa lived to 87, FYI.

There are those who see this as a sign that she'll continue to fight for THEIR beliefs or that Trump is being prevented from appointing yet another Justice for a reason.

In every aspect of life, there must be losers if there are to be winners.

One thing to consider is tactics.  Should RBG die or retire, what's the best path for Trump to take?

1.  He nominates a replacement, and we get a rerun of the Leftist circus that was the Kavanaugh hearing -- along with admonitions that Trump is now in the same situation as Obama and should wait until after the election.  Same argument used then will be used now -- a President who might not be in office should wait until the election is over before they name a candidate.

2.  He uses the argument in  #1 to voluntarily delay his nomination to replace her.

#2 would have two benefits:

  A.  Diffuses the outrage over the hypocrisy of Republicans refusing to hold a confirmation hearing for Obama's nominee in 2012, and

  B.  Gives Trump an extra "carrot" for GOP/Conservative voters to turn out. 

You might not like all his Tweets and policies, but a Supreme Court appointment is something that lasts for decades. 

Having a pending appointment on the back burner gives Trump another "vote for me" issue. 

"Would you rather have me appoint the next justice, or do you want to leave that selection up to someone like Biden or Sanders?  That's exactly what will happen if you don't come out and vote 'Trump' in 2020!"

Some people think we have a 5(ish)-4 court now. If RBG retired it would 5-3?
Tactically you are correct.
Personally Her initials drive me nuts.
I've fixed video stuff for years and that was RGB!!!!!!!!!

Kurt Schlichter weighs in on the topic... from the libs celebration of Koch's death to the likelihood of an Amy Coney Barrett nomination and the ensuing battle...

https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2019/08/26/get-ready-for-apocalypse-ruth-n2552156

samples:

Progressives’ ghoulish glee over the death of an old man turned into barely constrained panic when, later that day, it was revealed that their heroine Ruth Bader Ginsberg was just treated for pancreatic cancer yet again. Their disgraceful joy at David Koch’s passing was yet another reminder of the harsh truth that leftists want you dead or enslaved. Koch’s sin was that he disagreed with liberals (though, in important ways, also with conservatives). For that, these cretins danced around like idiots celebrating his succumbing. And they’ll celebrate when you die too. Always believe people who tell you they hate you and want you dead.

Oh, and never disarm.

Of course, RBG is eager to disarm you, and she would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those meddling Supreme Court kids who actually read Second Amendment. Her constitutional jurisprudence consists of disregarding what she dislikes that’s in the Bill of Rights and making up stuff that’s not in it but that she feels – not thinks, feels – should be in it. She’s a terrible justice and conservatives would love to see her step down. But our side expressed no delight in her latest suffering comparable to the giddy revelry that greeted Koch’s kicking the bucket. We’re not monsters, though how long that remains true is up in the air. When you establish New Rules they tend to come back and bite you on the Schumer.
 
Here’s a pro tip, liberal dummies. If you are going to normalize the hatred of political opponents and express open joy at their demise, the savvy play is to be the political faction that possesses and knows how to use AR-15s and not the one that agonizes over its pronouns.

* * * * *

My money is on him appointing Amy Coney Barrett, who has the unique ability to be a Scalia-like justice and to own the libs by being a woman. And not just any woman but a female woman who has kids and goes to church and is down with originalism like a boss. It’s going to be hard to paint her as the ringleader of a teen rape gang, and while her beer-appreciation status is yet unknown, it is unlikely she will have to explain to the dummies on the Judiciary Committee her high school clique’s unique flatulence euphemisms.

But they will still try to destroy her. That’s their only move, one not unrelated to the giddy cheer that greeted David Koch’s death. All we conservatives did with whoever Merrick Garland was was tell him “No.” But if you are conservative and you oppose them, they will try to wipe you out, if not literally then at least figuratively. But that’s a desperation tactic and it does not work, not if you hold strong and refuse to back down. Clarence Thomas fought back and won. Brett Kavanaugh fought back and won. And Amy Coney Barrett will fight back and she will win.

And that means our Constitution will win.

Loins, commence girding.
