In the caption, she wrote, “Cancer Update: I have 34.8 months to live if I don’t get hit by a meteor, shot by a MAGA hater, get Covid again or WWIII breaks out.”
The former “SNL” cast member first announced her breast cancer diagnosis in 2016.
“The other night, I thought I heard God say, ‘Ready to come home?’” Jackson said in her video.

The actress explained that doctors “cannot operate and cut out the marble in my chest that is laying on my windpipe, and eventually would suffocate me to death.”
According to Jackson, her health care providers scheduled a delivery for a “magic pill.” She said that the medicine has Ribociclib in it, a type of cancer growth blocker, “and it will shrink the marble, hopefully.”
Jackson shared that patients who take the “magic pill” have “32.6 months to live. Something like that.”
In her video, she added, “The bible says we have three score and 10, that would be 70 years for a normal life … and I’ve had a fantastic life.”
She was known for her segments on the Weekend Update and her impersonations of celebs like Roseanne Barr.
She left the show to play a Vegas showgirl opposite George Clooney on a proposed sitcom, but the networks didn’t pick it up.
Jackson then appeared on “Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher” several times and performed comedy sets around the country.
In 2007, she joined a conservative group called Friends of Abe and made headlines for several controversial statements , such as criticizing the Fox drama “Glee” for showing a “sickening” gay kiss between two male actors.

Jackson later said her political and religious beliefs made it difficult for her to get work in Hollywood.
“I was blacklisted,” Jackson claimed to the Minneapolis Star Tribune in August. “The only people you can make fun of is blondes — dumb blonde jokes. You can’t make fun of Muslims, or you die.”
She also told the outlet that she didn’t like recent “SNL” seasons.
“Now the agenda is so blatant. It’s obvious that they want to push a far-left agenda to indoctrinate a new generation,” she said.
In the video of her heath update, Jackson, who is married to her high school sweetheart, former police officer Paul Wessel, and has two daughters, heartbreakingly shared, “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.”
