Kathy Griffin revealed she has lung cancer despite “never” smoking and will be undergoing surgery to have half of her left lung removed.

The comedian announced the news Monday morning in a lengthy note posted to social media, sharing that the cancer is stage 1 and “contained.”

“I’ve got to tell you guys something. I have cancer. I’m about to go into surgery to have half of my left lung removed,” she began her letter on social media. “Yes, I have lung cancer even though I’ve never smoked! The doctors are very optimistic as it is stage one and contained to my left lung.”

Griffin, 60, said she’s hopeful that she won’t need to get chemotherapy or radiation treatment after the surgery and “should have normal function with my breathing.”

My cousin had stage 3 and half of his lung removed. He is doing great.

No comment.

I wish her good health, and perhaps a dose of humility.

........... Just in case nobody remembers.................

Stage 1, she has a real good shot at a full recovery.

[Leaning Right]

Well said.

My Dad started smoking at 15, finally quit age 70 after his first heart attack. Had a second heart attack, then stage 3 lung cancer, and relapsed with lung cancer again a year later. Got Covid-19 this spring and only had a fever.

Old goat just refuses to die at age 79 now.

Lots of non-smokers get lung cancer; the second biggest cause (after smoking) is radon exposure - and everybody is exposed to radon. Everybody.

I am glad they caught it early.

It claimed my Dad's life within six months of diagnosis, but he was a heavy smoker.

She may need to buy a wig....

You are a good person. I struggle with unwelcome feelings at things like this.

[kaktuskid]

But you play in smoke filled places like comedy clubs and bars. There is something to second hand smoke

[Leep]

Hate consumes the body,too.
Her mind went along time ago.

[alstewartfan]

She has breathed plenty of toxic leftist fumes over her lifetime.

To quote John Lennon. . . .

I like your mentality, as it was said to me “if you got nothing good to say, then don’t say it”.

[metmom]

I remembered.

Perhaps when faced with her own mortality, she will be brought to a place of repentance.

[BiglyCommentary]

Who knows if this is real. To me she’s not beyond polling a Smollet.

[ClearCase_guy]

Never smoked cigarettes, I suppose.
But I think it’s safe to say she smoked something.

Correction,

“if you got nothing good to say about someone, then don’t say it”.
