“#Kathy Griffin Gives Heath Update, Says Lung Removal Surgery Was ‘A Little More Than I Had Anticipated’
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nKathy Griffin<\/strong> is in the process of recovering from the removal of half of one of her lungs, and understandably, she\u2019s going through a lot as she settles in after the surgery.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday night, the\u00a0My Life On The D-List<\/em> star gave an update to her fans and followers on social media<\/a> about the surgery she had to deal with her newly-diagnosed lung cancer \u2014 despite never smoking.<\/p>\n

D, as we reported upon the story breaking earlier this week, the comedian and longtime TV star revealed to her fans that surgery was her best chance to avoid chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and one day soon get back to normal function within her breathing.<\/p>\n

Now, following the surgery, the 60-year-old star is admitting that things turned out to be \u201cmore than\u201d she was expecting. It\u2019s a serious, major surgery, of course, and understandably it sounds like Griffin is struggling with the post-op recovery early on.<\/p>\n

She said as much in a new\u00a0Twitter<\/strong> message, revealing to fans:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, this cancer surgery was a little more than I had anticipated. Tonight will be my first night without any narcotic pain killers. Hello Tylenol, my new best friend!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ever the optimistic one, though, she continued from there by recounting this surgery relative to her past addiction to prescript<\/a>ion pills and admitted that if she could survive that<\/em>, she would definitely pull through here.<\/p>\n

The former\u00a0Bravo<\/strong> star finished her message by writing:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last time I was in a hospital was in June 2020 when I tried to take my life and overdosed on prescription pills. With over a year clean and drug free, I now know I can do this and anything I want without those devil pills. Y\u2019know what? I fear drugs and addiction more than I fear cancer. So, I think I\u2019ll be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wow! Extremely candid. Here\u2019s hoping she\u2019s right, too, and she\u2019ll be totally OK in time as her body heals and she becomes more accustomed to everything in due time.<\/p>\n
