“They’re honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant,” the reporter wrote on Instagram after her surgery
Kat Timpf is sharing a health update after undergoing surgery following her breast cancer diagnosis.
On Thursday, March 20, the Fox News contributor, 36 — who learned of the diagnosis just hours before giving birth to her son last month — shared a post on Instagram of herself resting in a bed at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Josie Robertson Surgery Center in New York City.
Timpf previously revealed on social media that she was set to undergo a double mastectomy.
After having the operation, she shared a snap of the bottom of her hospital gown and her feet with the word “censored” written across her toes, jokingly adding in the caption, “Post-op! They’re honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant.”
Fox News political commentator Greg Gutfeld was among those commenting on the post, writing, “Can’t wait to have you back.”
Fox Business host Dagen McDowell added, “I love you.”
Timpf also shared a snap of a cake she’d been sent her The Five co-host Jessica Tarlov. A message on the sweet treat read, “Titty free and fabulous!” in yellow icing, with multi-colored sprinkles dotted around the icing.
The 36-year-old posted the shot on her Instagram Stories, adding multiple different emojis and “tysm” (thank you so much), tagging her colleague, 41.
The reporter’s surgery comes after she shared a photo of herself on Instagram on March 14 standing outside the center where she had the op, wearing sweatpants, a hoodie, a baseball cap and shades.
“Once I recover from childbirth, my mole removal scars heal, I get a double mastectomy, get rid of my cancer, have breast reconstruction surgery & am physically capable of getting back in the gym it’s OVER FOR U BITCHEZ 😎🥵🗣️,” she wrote, adding the hashtag #MILF. Merriam-Webster defines Milf as “a sexually attractive older woman and especially one who has children.”
On Feb. 25, Timpf announced that her baby boy was safely delivered, however, her “unconventional birth announcement” came with additional life-changing information for the broadcaster.
“Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” she wrote in posts shared on Instagram and X.
Timpf — who shares her son with her husband Cameron Friscia, whom she married in 2021 — noted that doctors detected the cancer early, finding it while it was Stage 0, and that they were “confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread.”

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, cancer found at this stage “is highly treatable when detected early.”
Timpf added that her baby’s birth, coupled with the breast cancer diagnosis within the same 24-hour span, meant that it “was not a chill day.”
“I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out,” she wrote.

Doctors told Timpf “a double mastectomy as soon as possible” would likely be her “best course of action,” per the post.
Admitting “these next three months of maternity leave are going to look a lot different than I’d anticipated,” she continued, “As I navigate new motherhood (and new cancer) I’m learning to celebrate everything I can. I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom.”
“I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules — and not just because he might have saved my life,” she went on.
The new mom concluded, “Here’s to resilience, to miracles in the midst of chaos, and to finding humor and hope even on the toughest days.”
