Kathy Griffin has lung cancer and says she'll undergo surgery to remove half of her left lung
Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images Kathy Griffin is opening up about her lung cancer diagnosis. The comedian posted a note to fans on Twitter, revealing that she has stage-one lung cancer. “Yes, I have lung cancer even though I’ve never smoked!” she wrote. Griffin, 60, added that she will have surgery to remove half of her left lung, which will “hopefully” keep her from having to do chemotherapy or radiation.
Griffin elaborated on the diagnosis on ABC’s Nightline, saying she’s only known for about “two weeks.” “As a friend of mine said, ‘How many kicks in the nuts can you take?’” she joked. “I’m like, ‘My nuts are pretty strong, but it’s a challenge.’” The star also admitted that she’s “still a bit in shock” over the news. “Not denial, but I still, like once a day I’ll just turn to like nobody next to me and be like, ‘Can you believe this shit?’” she said.
