Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who missed three days of oral arguments this week as she recovers from lung cancer surgery, will miss another three days next week but will continue to work from home, a court spokeswoman said on Friday.
Ginsburg, 85, will participate in all the cases she has missed, spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in a statement. 'Her recovery from surgery is on track,' Arberg said.
No further cancer has been detected since the surgery, she said, and no further treatment is needed.
Ginsburg continues to recover after doctors removed two cancerous growths from her left lung on December 21.
Until Monday, she hadn't missed oral arguments she was confirmed to join the court after Bill Clinton's nomination of her in 1993.
Following her initial fall in November that resulted in fractured ribs, Ginsburg declared herself 'almost repaired,' and immediately got back to an exercise routine.
Out again: The Supreme Court announced that Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be absent from court for next week's scheduled hearings
But that was stopped for the surgery which was to remove cancerous growths found as a result of scans taken in the wake of the fall.
The announcement that she will not be present for another week's court sittings came as the White House was revealed to have been in contact with Senate Republicans about possible replacements for the ailing 85-year old Supreme Court justice.
The White House is even working on a short-list of possible nominees to replace Ginsburg, who broke her 25-year streak when she began missing oral arguments on Monday.
The White House counsel's office is trading names with the office of new Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham. Politico published a list of them Thursday.
The short list of potential replacements for the ailing Ginsburg include Seventh Circuit judge Amy Coney Barrett, whose name got floated before Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh.
Others identified include Joan Larsen of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, Raymond Kethledge of the Sixth Circuit, Britt Grant of the Eleventh Circuit, and Thomas Hardiman of the Third Circuit, who served with Trump's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry.
The White House 'is taking the temperature on possible short-list candidates, reaching out to key stakeholders, and just making sure that people are informed on the process,' a source told the publication.
Graham is still putting his stamp on the Judiciary panel. He met with Trump's attorney general pick William Barr this week, even as some Democrats complained they couldn't get face time with the nominee. He said he got assurances from Barr that he wouldn't shut down the Mueller probe.

Conservatives hold a 5-4 majority on the court. If Ginsburg were to retire, there would be yet another brutal confirmation fight over a Trump-appointed successor who would shift the balance to the right
Trump has been publicly supportive of Ginsburg since her fall, when he said he was praying for her.
'Glad to see you are feeling great,' President Trump told her at an event for the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
But in initial comments he also brought up a grudge.
'I wish her well. She said something very inappropriate during the campaign, but she apologized for it,' he the president said in November. 'I wouldn't say she's exactly on my side, but I wish her well, I hope she gets better, and I hope she serves on the Supreme Court for many years.'
In December, following her cancer surgery, Trump tweeted: 'Wishing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg a full and speedy recovery!'
RUTH BADER GINSBURG'S PULMONARY LOBECTOMY, EXPLAINED
WHAT IS A PULMONARY LOBECTOMY?
A pulmonary lobectomy is the surgical removal of a cancerous or diseased segment of the lung, rather than the entire organ.
The procedure is done when only a portion of the lung is unhealthy.
When diseased tissue is isolated to just one portion of the lung, it means that it is either pre-cancerous or in the early stages of cancer.
Removing the cancerous, diseased, infected or suspicious portion of a lung prevents whatever is ailing it from spreading to the rest of the organ - or beyond.
Surgeons make an incision, usually starting near the nipple and continuing around to the back, ending under the shoulder blade.
They can then get to the lung between the ribs. Sometimes, a guided camera is used instead, to make the surgery less invasive.
HOW THE LUNGS KEEP WORKING AFTER A PORTION HAS BEEN REMOVED
Each pair of lungs has a total of five lobes - three in the right and two in the left lung.
The lungs have multiple lobes as a sort of fail-safe system so that if one lobe is damaged, the rest can keep on breathing. In modern medicine, this allows the organs to keep working after a portion is removed to stop disease spread.
The lungs are remarkably regenerative.
When one section, or lobe is removed effectively and without complications, the rest of the organ can continue functioning normally.
SURGEONS REMOVED ONE LOBE OF RBG'S LUNG
Just one of the five lobes of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's lungs was removed (or resected) during.
Surgeons cut out the lower of the two lobes of the Justice's left lung.
When the investigated the removed tissues they found two 'nodules' - suspicious lumps of tissue that didn't match the rest of the organ.
Sometimes these are harmless, or benign. Other times nodules are cancerous, or malignant. Pathologists have to test the tissue after it's removed to find out.
The two nodules in Justice Ginsburg's lung were malignant, or cancerous.
But upon inspection of the rest of her lungs, there were no signs of any other nodules or cancers - good news, meaning that they caught the disease very early.
THE RISKS (AND BENEFITS) OF A LUNG LOBECTOMY
Lung lobectomies are invasive surgeries, and the risks and rate of complications vary. Women tend to fare better than men.
The possible complications are considerable. They include:
- Infection
- A pleural space that can lead to lung collapse
- An air leak
- Pus developing in the chest cavity
- Fluid buildup between the lung and chest wall
After surgery, most are dependent on a ventilator for a few day, though some struggle to breath unassisted for longer.
Most of the complications tend to resolve themselves.
But some, like chest pain may linger. About half of patients who undergo lobectomies report lasting aches.
The upside is that between 85 and 95 percent of people who have lobectomies to prevent the spread of cancer survive for at least the following five years.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
