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. Ive got to tell you guys something. I have cancer. Im 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 Ive never smoked! The doctors are very optimistic as it is stage one and contained to my left lung. Griffin, 60, said shes hopeful that she wont need to get chemotherapy or radiation treatment after the surgery and should have normal function with my breathing. I should be up and running around as usual in a month or less, she added.

The former Fashion Police star assured fans that shell be just fine and ended her note by encouraging readers to get vaccinated for COVID-19. Of course I am fully vaccinated for Covid, she continued. The consequences for being unvaccinated would have been even more serious. Please stay up to date on your medical check ups. Itll save your life.

Here's a surprising factoid... you don't need to smoke to develop lung cancer. Your lungs are easily vulnerable to disease because your always using them.

Yeah you can get lung cancer without smoking

Admittedly most commonly it's from second hand smoke but sometimes fate just uppercuts you

it fucking sucks

Smokes weed though right?


maybe. secondhand smoke is a contributor to chances of lung cancer.
it's the same thing as a smoker in risks.

She's a wealthy person, she can afford the hospital bills and such, her chances of survival are much higher than Hobo John from Chicago that hasn't got a penny to his name and some fucker just stole his shopping cart of cans.

How so? I think people are just saying that she can easily afford the treatments that will potentially help to save (or at least extend) her life. No one's saying money = immortality lol

both arguments are dumb and not worth making. yet somebody did and people are doubling down and defending it despite this being literal cancer.

but maybe I was just raised different.

Smoking is by far the most common cause, but it isn't the only one. Even excluding second-hand smoke as well, there are plenty of other things that can cause it.

Now when someone who's never smoked gets emphysema, that'll get my attention...

You have empathy. That is a good thing.

Cancer sucks. I would not wish it on anyone, regardless of their political party. We need to eliminate this damn disease.

As a stand up performer I'm sure she spent alot of her early days in smoke filled comedy clubs. That could've started the ball rolling.

Why is her never smoking relevant? Like I get why she'd comment on it, but I don't understand why publications reporting on it, or people in general would grab on to it as if it was a salient point. Do people not know that cancer can happen even when you don't do the very bad much sad thing?

Probably because upwards of 80% of lung cancers are attributable to smoking.
