"Fox News star Kat Timpf has revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer just hours before giving birth to her first child.

"The TV star, 36, continued working on air through much of her third trimester, but recently revealed some of the harshest comments she had received from viewers about her growing baby bump. In a heartbreaking Instagram post this Tuesday, she shared the news of her son’s birth last week.

"Just 15 hours before she gave birth to her first child with her husband, Cameron Friscia, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. "Last week, I became a mother. Just 15 hours before I went into labour, I was told I had breast cancer," she explained. "The doctors have diagnosed it as stage zero and are optimistic that it hasn’t spread."

"Kat described the whirlwind of events on the day of her diagnosis, noting how she used humor to help cope with the overwhelming news. "I was already more than a week past my due date and completely focused on trying everything to get the baby out," she said. "By the afternoon, I found myself juggling appointments, cracking jokes about how to get rid of the cancer, all while waddling around."

. . . "The Fox News star said she was more than a week past due when she gave birth and recalled the chaotic day as "not chill." She included jokes about her hectic day in the news of her health scare. "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," she said.

"Kat then revealed she went into labor in the middle of the night before rushing to the hospital to meet her baby boy. She also told her followers that doctors recommended she get a double mastectomy as soon as possible. "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," she said." . . .

"Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer," Timpf wrote on X. "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."
