RBG's most recent pancreatic cancer treatment was cutting edge radiation treatment pioneered by Sloane Kettering radiology experts. It skips chemo in favor of 25 short blasts of radiation. Current prognostic indexes show a 35% mean chance of overall survival over 3 years.
Her recent "stomach bug" (possible norovirus) from November 13th is being conflated with the most recent hospitalization last Friday. It is most likely pancreatitis (in both cases), which mimics classic flu symptoms -vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration.
Its so odd that they transported her from a large john hopkins owned hospital in DC to john hopkins in Baltimore, just to provide IV fluids and antibiotics. John Hopkins is crowded due to its popularity. Do they have better antibiotics and iv bags there? Its hard to imagine what a DC based teaching hospital, with an oncology department could not provide, requiring her to go to Baltimore, 50 miles away.
Note that she has a pancreatic duct stent in place, which could be the source for a bacterial infection.
Another possibility, is complications from the radiation therapy. The procedure is dangerous and still in clinical trials. They give enough radiation to destroy sensitive organs like the small intestine, but it done in a very careful and high tech way to limit exposure. The adverse effects can be evident as much as 3 months later, which is about when she recieved the treatment.
To summarize, it was not a stomach bug, because of the antibiotics treatment. Its highly likely pancreatitis. This leads to death about 9% of the time.
The transport to John Hopkins from another John Hopkins owned hospital is very odd and unusual, considering the reported symptoms by the media.
She recieved her cancer treatment in New York, so why JH?
