Associated Press

   WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says
   she's on her way to being ``very well'' following radiation treatment
   for cancer.
   The 86-year-old justice spoke Saturday at the Library of Congress
   National Book Festival in Washington. The event came a little over a
   week after Ginsburg disclosed that she had completed three weeks of
   outpatient radiation therapy for a cancerous tumor on her pancreas.
   It was the fourth time since 1999 that Ginsburg has been treated for
   cancer. In announcing the news, the Supreme Court said in a statement
   that after the treatment there was ``no evidence of disease elsewhere
   in the body.''
   Ginsburg was treated for colorectal cancer in 1999andpancreatic cancer
   in 2009, and shehad lung cancer surgery in December.
