Fox News host Kat Timpf has revealed she was diagnosed with cancer just 15 hours before giving birth to her son last week.
Kat Timpf, a well-known personality from Gutfeld! on Fox News, has shared a deeply personal update, revealing that she received a breast cancer diagnosis just hours before welcoming her first child.
In an emotional Instagram post, Timpf opened up about the life-altering moment, disclosing that she became a mother last week, but just fifteen hours before going into labor, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Her announcement comes amid speculation about recent absences from Gutfeld!, where fellow host Greg Gutfeld had also taken time away from the show earlier in the year. It was later revealed that his wife had given birth during that time.
Her Message
Kat Timpf reassured her followers in her Instagram update, emphasizing that her doctor is optimistic about her condition. She shared that it was diagnosed at stage 0, and medical experts are confident it has not spread.
Addressing concerns, she lightheartedly told her audience, “Now, before you worry, my doctor says it’s stage 0 and is confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread. Or, as I’ve explained to the few people I’ve managed to tell about it so far: don’t freak out. It’s just, like, a little bit of cancer.“

<p><em>“Still, it was not a chill day. I mean, to say the least! I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out. By the middle of the afternoon, I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out.”</em></p>
<p>Kat Timpf maintained her signature wit even in the face of such a challenging moment. She noted that hospital staff turned out to be the perfect audience for her dark humor,</p>
<p><em>“The good news? People who work at hospitals make excellent audiences for dark humor — and, as someone whose first book was about the power of jokes to get through traumatic situations, there was really no better place for me to be.”</em></p>

Even in the immediate aftermath of giving birth, she found herself making light of the situation, joking with the nurses about how unconventional her birth announcement might be given the circumstances.
