Kat Timpf is hopeful amid her breast cancer diagnosis.

On Friday, March 14, the Fox News contributor, 36, shared a health update after recently revealing her breast cancer diagnosis to her followers via social media. She learned of the devastating news hours before giving birth to her son.

“Once I recover from childbirth, my mole removal scars heal, I get a double mastectomy, get rid of my cancer, have breast reconstruction surgery & am physically capable of getting back in the gym it’s OVER FOR U BITCHEZ ,” Timpf captioned a single photo upload.

In the picture, she stood in front of a Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center sign while wearing sweatpants, a hoodie, a baseball cap and sunshades.

The hashtag “MILF” was also added to her caption. Merriam-Webster defines Milf as “a sexually attractive older woman and especially one who has children.”

“You’re kicking ass kat! We’re all missing you here,” Fox News political commentator Greg Gutfeld wrote under her post.

Fox Business host Dagen McDowell also sent words of encouragement while making note of Timpf’s comfortable choice of clothing: “I love you. You are as always fiercely hilarious. And those slippers are fire.”

On Feb. 25, Timpf announced that her baby boy was safely delivered, however, her “unconventional birth announcement” came with additional life-changing information for the broadcaster.

“Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” she wrote in posts shared on Instagram and X.

She noted that doctors detected the cancer early, finding it while she was in Stage 0, and that they were “confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread.”

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, cancer found at this stage “is highly treatable when detected early.”

Timpf added that her baby’s birth, coupled with the breast cancer diagnosis within the same 24-hour span, meant that it “was not a chill day.”

“I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out,” she wrote, noting that by the end of the day she needed a plan to get both the baby and the cancer out.

Doctors told Timpf “a double mastectomy as soon as possible” would likely be her best route.

“Still, as I navigate new motherhood (and new cancer) I’m learning to celebrate everything I can. I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom,” she wrote. “I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules — and not just because he might have saved my life.”

The new mom, who shares her baby boy with husband Cameron Friscia, concluded, “Here’s to resilience, to miracles in the midst of chaos, and to finding humor and hope even on the toughest days.”
