“ 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 B***HEZ #MILF” the caption read.
Followers have already chimed in with encouraged messages in the comments section.
“I admire your honesty so very much,” one Instagram user wrote.
“You got this Kat. Just a bump in the road for you,” another said.
“I pray for your healing. You’re not alone we all love and support you. God bless your family,” a third echoed.
The social media post has already garnered over 11,000 likes .
Timpf has been incredibly open with her followers about the whirlwind of a journey she’s been on, sharing her experience in a lengthy X post.
The Fox News host received a cancer diagnosis only 15 hours before going into labor.
In an announcement post, she reassured fans that she’s currently Stage 0 — meaning abnormal cells were found only in the original location and haven’t spread to nearby tissues.
Timpf said her doctor is “confident” that it hasn’t spread.
Despite being in positive spirits, she admitted it had been a difficult day.
She was advised that the best action would likely be a double mastectomy as soon as possible.
Still, Timpf said the hospital staff had helped her throughout the day, lightening the mood whenever possible.
“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,” she tweeted.
The photo she shared in her update on Thursday revealed that she’s being treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, a hospital and a research institution based in New York City.
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.
