Saturday Night Live comedian Victoria Jackson has revealed the devastating news that her cancer has returned and it is "inoperable."
In a heartbreaking update, the 65-year-old actress and comedian shared with her fans that her breast cancer is back and that she has an estimated three years left to live. Jackson shared the disheartening news with her fans this week during her "Is the Cancer Back?" Instagram video series. In the 8-minute-long video, Jackson shared the harrowing details of her "incurable" cancer diagnosis and the "magic pill" her doctors prescribed her to extend her life.
Jackson, being the witty comedian that she is, captioned the post: "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."

In the video, the former Sabrina the Teenage Witch star said that her cancer was inoperable, explaining 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." She went on to add that although she can't undergo surgery for the tumor, she will be receiving a "magic pill" that contains Ribociclib, which is a type of cancer growth blocker.
The new medicine is expected to "shrink" the tumor and according to Jackson, other patients that have taken the pill "have 32.6 months to live. Something like that." Despite the news, the former Family Business star remained optimistic, stating that she lived "a fantastic life." And while she has been very grateful for all of the life she has been able to experience so far, she listed off a few bucket list items she hopes to experience in the time she still has left.
In the post, Jackson sweetly confessed that she hoped to meet her grandson and get the chance to build a relationship with him. She said: "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."

After Jackson shared the sad news, fans of hers took to the comments sharing an outpouring of love for the star and sharing alternative options for treatment. One supporter commented: "If I had to see five to six more doctors to get another opinion I would. But that being said my sweet girl. I pray hard for your healing. I pray for your strength to get you through this. I pray for your children to help you get through this. North Carolina loves you."
Another fan responded: "No dates, Mrs. Victoria! No limits on God’s timeline. Please look at holistic and other treatments outside of what big pharma offers. God has given simple people great wisdom. You. Are. A. Blessing!!!!" And a third replied: "I just have no words Victoria. You are a ray of light in this dark world. Only with God could you face this the way you are. Praying hard for you."
