Don’t forget she has inoperable (incurable) cancer. Any little virus or infection can complicate matters.

Not sure where you have gotten this dire characterization of her cancer. She has had four brushes with cancer over about 20 years. Each has been caught early and responded to treatment. Her last brush was with a pancreatic cancer lesion, which was fully treated. It is not clear whether that cancer lesion was a new one or a metastases of an old cancer as one doctor described below:
"The statement from the court does not say what type of tumor it is. "The mystery is what kind of cancer this is," Cannon said. "Is it a slow-growing metastases of her lung cancer? Is it a recurrence of her pancreatic cancer from 10 years ago or is it a new cancer in someone predisposed to getting cancer?""
As Ginsburg herself slyly noted, people have been hyperbolic about her cancer for years:
"Shortly before her new round of treatment, Ginsburg sat for an interview with NPR, and her resilience was on full display.
"There was a senator, I think it was after my pancreatic cancer, who announced with great glee that I was going to be dead within six months," Ginsburg said. "That senator, whose name I have forgotten, is now himself dead, and I," she added with a smile, "am very much alive.""
Whatever you think about her health and her cancers, she is likely getting the highest quality health care and being closely monitored for new lesions, probably every three months, so any new cancers are likely to be caught early and treated.
