    Saturday Night Live alumna and breast cancer survivor Victoria Jackson revealed in a candid social media post that she has an inoperable tumor in her windpipe.

    “They cannot operate and cut out the marble in my chest that is laying on my windpipe, and eventually would suffocate me to death,” Jackson said, before revealing her course of treatment.

    “They’re giving me a magic pill. It’s going to be delivered to my front door within the next 12 hours,” she added. “It’s based on Ribociclib , and it will shrink the marble, hopefully.”

    As for her prognosis, “I looked up the pill on Google and it says people who take this have 32.6 months to live — something like that.”

    A recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine says Robociclib “has a significant overall survival benefit” in certain patients with advanced breast cancer.

    Jackson was not maudlin at her prospects.

    “I’ve had a fantastic life,” she said, before naming a few things left she’d like to see before she goes.

    “I’d like to see my grandson born — his name is Jimmy — in October and get to know [him] a little and I would like to see my daughter Aubrey have a baby.”

    Jackson was an SNL cast member from 1986 to 1992 where she frequently appeared on Weekend Update and was a go-to for impersonations of Roseanne Barr, Sally Struthers and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

    She revealed her breast cancer diagnosis back in 2016. Earlier this week, she shared video from the room where she was getting a CT scan.
