Kathy Griffin is still suffering from ‘vocal cord issues’ amid her cancer treatment.
The 60-year-old comedienne recently revealed she has had half of her lung removed after being diagnosed with stage one cancer and although she’s previously shared health updates in video messages on social media, her latest news came in the form of a typed message, in which she admitted she has also been struggling with her breathing and a cough.
‘One thing that sucks about cancer, it’s hard to focus on anything else when one is experiencing shortness of breath, deep coughing, pain, extreme fatigue in my case, vocal chord issues,’ Kathy wrote in an Instagram post that she shared on Thursday.
