“SNL” alum Victoria Jackson says she has an inoperable tumor, may have less than 3 years to live
Jackson has previously written about surviving breast cancer.
Comedian Victoria Jackson delivered a somber message to her followers this week.
The Saturday Night Live alum, who was part of the cast from 1986 to 1992, said she may have about three years to live, after her cancer has returned. Jackson has previously written about surviving breast cancer.
In the below video posted Wednesday, which she titled, ‘Is the Cancer Back?,’ Jackson described the sad situation to fans: “They cannot operate and cut out the marble in my chest that is laying on my wind pipe and eventually would suffocate me to death. They’re giving me a magic pill,” meant to “shrink” the “marble.”

Jackson, 65, explained that online research showed her that people taking the drug typically have 32.6 months to live or “something like that.” In the caption of the video on Instagram, she said she has 34.8 months to live.
The star has caused controversy in the past, such as last year when she protested a Pride parade at a city council meeting in Franklin, Tenn., or when she railed against a 2011 Glee episode that showed two men sharing a kiss.
In her new video, she recalled having the “weirdest thing” happen to her when she was in bed on a recent night and thought she “heard God say, ‘Ready to come home?'”
“And he didn’t say it like, ‘You’re coming home now.’ He just kind of said it like we were hanging out,” Jackson noted.
While the alum of movie including UHF and Baby Boom said, “this Earth is kind of exploding right now with Satanic things,” she said good things are coming in personal life. Her grandson is due to be born in October, and she’d like to see her daughter have a baby.
“So I’m dying in three months, if I don’t have a heart attack or get hit by a car or a meteor or a terrorist, you know, an illegal,” she said, perpetuating the xenophobic fallacy that immigrants commit more crimes.

“You know, we’re all dying,” Jackson continued, “but when you kind of see in print you have 32.6 months, it makes you think.”
Still the comedian said she “wouldn’t change anything.”
