Kat Timpf has given brith and was diagnosed with cancer at the same time
Kat Timpf has revealed she was diagnosed with cancer right before giving birth to her first child.
The Fox host posted the news on Instagram, where she said she gave birth last week and received the health prognosis shortly before. She is a regular panelist of Fox News’ Gutfeld!, hosted by Greg Gutfeld. He too was missing from the show for several weeks at the beginning of the year, but it was later revealed his wife also had a baby.
Timpf’s post said: “Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into Labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“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.”
She continued: “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. Bu the middle of the afternoon, I was waddling around form appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out. I sat and listened as they told me that the best course of action would likely be a double mastectomy as soon as possible.”
She joked about wanting to but the ultrasound of her tumor on the refrigerator next to the ultrasound of her baby. Later that night, she went into labor and headed to the hospital.
Timpf has been to keep a good sense of humor about the ordeal: “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. Just minutes after my boy was born, I was talking to the nurses about what a birth announcement in my situation might look like.”
She said her maternity will look a lot different than she expected, and she’s still getting used to her new reality. Timpf is also loving motherhood and says her son might have saved her life.
