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 revealed that she received a cancer diagnosis only 15 hours before going into labor.
She reassured her fans in the post that she is currently at Stage 0, which means that abnormal cells have been found only in the original location and have not spread to nearby tissues.
Timpf said her doctor is “confident” that it hasn’t spread.
Even though she was in good spirits, she confessed that it had been a tough day; She had been advised that the best course of 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.
