Griffin elaborated on the diagnosison ABCsNightline, saying shes only known for about two weeks.

As a friend of mine said, How many kicks in the nuts can you take?

Im like, My nuts are pretty strong, but its a challenge.

The star also admitted that shes still a bit in shock over the news.

Is this a bitch or what?

She also tried to kill herself in June of 2020.

I fear drugs and addiction more than I fear cancer.

And if its horrible, I laugh way more!

If hes calling for me, for my help, it must be bad because I cant do anything!

And then I look down and all four of our dogs are trying to lick up the blood.
