Saturday Night Live alum Victoria Jackson reveals she only has three years left to live after cancer returns
Comedy actress Victoria Jackson says she only has about three years to live now that her cancer has returned.
The Saturday Night Live alum posted an eight minute video to her Instagram to share a health update with her fans.
"Episode 11 of 'Is the Cancer Back', starring me - unfortunately," she began.

In the clip, Jackson explained that she was informed by doctors that her cancer is inoperable because they "cannot operate and cut out the marble in my chest that is laying on my windpipe, and eventually would suffocate me to death."
Despite her grave diagnosis, Jackson maintained a positive outlook, sharing that doctors had arranged a "magic pill" to be delivered to her home within 12 hours.
The pill contains Ribociclib, which works as a cancer blocker. "It will shrink the marble, hopefully," the actress added.
According to Jackson's research, other breast cancer patients who have taken the medicine have had "something like" 32.6 months to live.
"I think that's great," she said.

Jackson gave herself a slightly longer timeline, writing in the caption of the video, "I have 34.8 months to live if I don't get hit by a meteor, shot by a MAGA hater, get Covid again or WWIII breaks out."
The actress doesn't seem to be letting the diagnosis get her down, telling her 46,000 followers "I've had a wonderful life."
However there are still a few family milestones she is hoping to get to see.
"I'd like to see my grandson born — his name is Jimmy — in October, and get to know him a little," Jackson shared. "And I would like to see my daughter Aubrey have a baby."

Earlier this month, she took to Instagram to share with her followers that it had returned.
"It's cancer! Back from 9 years ago!" She wrote alongside a video of her researching her diagnosis.
