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.”

She might have had lots of exposure to second hand smoke in comedy clubs. I would think most or all of them went non-smoking 20 years ago, but maybe before that.

Glad you caught the Bessie Smith reference in my tagline. Not many get it.

Well, she gets press because she is famous. People who are famous get attention for whatever happens in their lives, both good and bad.

I hope this unfortunate health event causes her to be as concerned about the condition of her soul as she is about vaccines and politics (and plastic surgery).

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

Unless she repents, she will breathe plenty of toxic leftist fumes over her next lifetime as well.

I honestly don’t care what happens to her. I have no empathy or sympathy for her or her illness.

Take a whiff of Round-Up, that is sure to bring lung cancer. There are many things that severely damage biology in our environment, most of them man-made.

She’s lucky they caught it. For non-smokers, cancer often progresses before it becomes a noticeable health issue. My boss’s wife had no sign of cancer until it metasticized so badly tha brain tumors caused stroke-like symptoms.

“Liberals rarely repent”

Because most of them are also atheists.

Ever met a liberal atheist that wasn’t basically angry and unhappy?

I sure can’t remember such an encounter.

I believe she didn’t smoke cigs, but what about pot?

Cancer absolutely has emotional roots. There is a ton of evidence suggesting that repressed anger, hate and resentment play a crucial role in the development of cancer. Increased stress hormones caused by emotional triggers suppress the immune system, which can lead to cancer.

people who are consumed on the inside with anger, hate and other negative emotions do seem to have more health issues than those who live a truly positive life.

Excellent post--and a great reminder for those around here who are driven by negative emotion

One of the failings of "science" is ignoring the "human factor"--we are not simple machines.

I’m sure she celebrated when Rush Limbaugh died.
