Former Saturday Night Live cast member Victoria Jackson has been diagnosed with an inoperable form of cancer, and her prognosis is dire. The 65-year-old comedian has been told she may only have three years left to live.

Jackson shared the news in a video message on her Instagram account, where she revealed the results of a recent CT scan. The comedian explained that the cancer has spread to her chest, where it is pressing on her windpipe, and that doctors have told her that surgery is not an option.

“They cannot operate and cut out the marble in my chest that is laying on my windpipe, and eventually would suffocate me to death,” Jackson said.

Former Saturday Night Live Stars: Where Are They Now?

Saturday Night Live has launched the careers of many famous comedians, including Will Ferrell, Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, and Adam Sandler. Murphy, for his part, appeared as a cast member from 1980 to 1984. He went on to become a lucrative movie star, but tension between him and the show arose after…

Jackson explained that her doctors have prescribed her a “magic pill” that aims to shrink the tumor, but she is not optimistic about the outcome. When she researched the pill online, she found that people who took it typically only lived for another 32.6 months.

Despite the dire prognosis, Jackson appeared to be taking solace in the positive side of things. “I’ve had a fantastic life,” she told her followers, though she admitted there were still things she’d like to experience before her death.

“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,” she said.

Jackson also spoke about her religious beliefs, saying, “The bible says we have ‘three score and 10’ — that would be 70 years for a normal life.” She added that she has been experiencing spiritual visions at night as she comes to terms with the news.

“I thought the other night when I was laying in the dark in bed, I thought I heard God say, ‘Ready to come home?'” Jackson said. “It was the weirdest thing and I thought, ‘Is that my imagination or is that God?’. But the bible says, ‘My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me.’ And he didn’t say it like, ‘You’re coming home now!’ He just kind of said it like we were hanging out. Like, ‘ready to come home?’”

Jackson has been documenting her cancer battle and sharing updates with her fans on social media. After she shared her latest update, many followers offered words of support and encouragement.

One follower wrote, “You are handling this all with so much grace.” Another added, “I just have no words Victoria. You are a ray of light in this dark world.”
