In a heartfelt social media post, Fox News contributor Kat Timpf shared that she was diagnosed with Stage 0 lung cancer just hours before giving birth to her first child. What began as a routine pre-labor checkup turned into a life-changing day when doctors discovered a small lesion in her lung. Timpf gave birth to a healthy baby boy shortly after receiving the diagnosis.
The cancer—non–small cell and caught at Stage 0—is highly treatable and hasn’t spread. She will undergo a minimally invasive lobectomy after recovering from childbirth. Known for her humor, Timpf used wit to navigate the emotional roller coaster, saying she was “delivering a baby and a biopsy report.”
