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.

Kat Timpf’s full statement

An Unconventional Birth Announcement

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. 

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. By the middle of the afternoon, 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. 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.

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 with the nurses about what a birth announcement in my situation might look like.

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?

Anyway! These next three months of maternity leave are going to look a lot different than I’d anticipated, and I’m still getting used to my new reality. Still, 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.

Thank you all for your support, laughter, and love as I embrace this wildly unexpected chapter. Here’s to resilience, to miracles in the midst of chaos, and to finding humor and hope even on the toughest days.

Her Fox colleagues have showered her with support and congratulations on the birth of her son.

A Fox News alum, Meghan McCain, shared a heartfelt message to Timpf following her diagnosis.

“You’re one of the strongest women I’ve ever known and we have been through many dark times together – there is truly no one tougher,” McCain said.

“We love you and your family so much.”

Sick trolls attacked the new mom’s diagnosis, suggesting Timpf’s diagnosis was “misleading” and that she shouldn’t rush into “extreme surgery” so quickly.

Timpf shut down the trolls, saying, “It’s not hormonal changes. It is cancer.”

Despite the gross comments, the host expressed her deep gratitude for all the love she’s received since sharing the news.

“Thank you all for your support, laughter, and love as I embrace this wildly unexpected chapter,” she wrote on X.

“Here’s to resilience, to miracles in the midst of chaos, and to finding humor and hope even on the toughest days.”
