Actress Kathy Griffin is cancer free | Stars

entertainment">“I am cancer free,” said Griffin, who is best known for Saturday Night Live on Suddenly Susan. “I don’t know how it was possible, but I had a tumor. I’ve never smoked, but it’s been there for ten years.” The tumor was removed from her left lung in August. Even then, the doctors were optimistic because the cancer had only been found in the left lung.

entertainment">On the couch with Jimmy Kimmel, the actress said that her vocal cords were a bit affected by the operation. Her voice therefore sounds a little higher than normal. “It will heal and until then I’m just enjoying it a little. He’s a good two octaves up. I think it’s higher than Mariah Carey’s voice,” Griffin joked.
