Kathy Griffin turns to #CancerTwitter for medical advice after doctor 'ghosted' her

Less than a year after declaring herself cancer-free, Kathy Griffin turned to social media Monday for medical advice because she said her doctor had "ghosted" her.

"I know this is crazy but I cannot get an oncologist on the phone and the surgeon who did my half of lung removal has ghosted me," Griffin captioned screenshots of the results of her latest lung cancer scan.

"This is what it's come to people! I'm putting my scan results on Instagram in hopes that somebody will put it under an oncologist's nose and send me some sort of interpretation in English of what's going on with my post operation situation! Social media can be used for good, dammit!"
