Fox News Personality Announces She Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer Hours Before Having Baby

Fox News personality Kat Timpf took to social media Tuesday to announce she was diagnosed with breast cancer a mere 15 hours before giving birth to her first child last week.

Timpf posted on X, previously known as Twitter, to share the news that she was diagnosed with cancer at Stage 0, a very early form, unlikely to have spread. She added that the day went on with preparations for both childbirth and immediate cancer treatment discussions.

“Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Timpf wrote. “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.”

Timpf said that the proposed treatment plan included a double mastectomy.

“I was waddling around from 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,” Timpf added.

Among the emotional whirlwind, Timpf humorously considered placing her tumor ultrasound on the refrigerator beside her baby’s ultrasound.

“I asked all the questions I could, including if I could get a copy of my tumor ultrasound to put on the fridge next to the ultrasound of my baby. Finally, by the middle of the night, I was crawling around on the floor of my apartment in spontaneous labor, before heading to the hospital to meet my baby, whom I’d learn at the time of birth was a son,” Timpf said.
