27 Feb, 2025: Kat Timpf, known for her roles on “Gutfeld!” and as the host of Fox Nation’s “Sincerely, Kat,” recently revealed a deeply personal and emotional chapter of her life. In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), Timpf announced the birth of her first child while disclosing that she was diagnosed with breast cancer just hours before going into labor.

The 36-year-old comedian and author shared that she received her diagnosis approximately 15 hours before welcoming her son. Despite the shocking news, Kat Timpf reassured her followers that her cancer is in its early stages. “My doctor says it’s Stage 0 and is confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread,” she wrote. “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.”

Stage 0 breast cancer, also known as carcinoma in situ, is a non-invasive condition where abnormal cells are confined to the lining of the breast milk ducts and have not spread to surrounding tissue, according to the National Cancer Institute and the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Timpf emphasized that her prognosis is positive, but the diagnosis has undoubtedly reshaped her plans for the coming months.

Timpf recounted the whirlwind of emotions she experienced during her hospital visit a week after her due date. After receiving her diagnosis in the afternoon, she returned to the hospital later that night as she went into labor. Despite the overwhelming circumstances, she found solace in humor, joking about how she would announce the birth of her son. “Should I go with ‘Mom and baby are doing well, except maybe for mom’s cancer, and then maybe the baby after breastfeeding is stunted by her double mastectomy,’ and then shut off my phone for a week?” she quipped, praising the hospital staff for being an “excellent” audience for her dark humor.

Doctors have recommended a double mastectomy—a surgical procedure to remove both breasts—”as soon as possible.” Kat Timpf acknowledged that her maternity leave will look different than she initially envisioned, but she remains focused on gratitude and resilience. “I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom,” she wrote. “I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules—and not just because he might have saved my life.”

Timpf concluded her post with a message of hope and perseverance: “Here’s to resilience, to miracles in the midst of chaos, and to finding humor and hope even on the toughest days.” Her candid and courageous announcement has resonated with many, offering a powerful reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the importance of early detection in the fight against cancer.
