According to doctors after the surgery, her prognosis is good!
Doctors say, short of complications, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's prospects for a full recovery look good after she underwent surgery for early stage lung cancer today. The cancer was discovered after she fell and fractured several ribs in Nov.https://t.co/2WCw5bhwWm
