Fox News star Kat Timpf has shared an update on her breast cancer battle after undergoing surgery in the hospital.
The 36-year-old new mom announced to her social media followers that she underwent a successful double mastectomy.
Timpf, known for her crackling wit on Fox News’s “Gutfeld!,“ put a humorous spin on her heartbreaking situation.
“Post-op!” she wrote.
“They’re honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant.”
The update comes weeks after Timpf informed her fans that she had stage zero breast cancer.
The new mom received the frightening diagnosis just hours before going into labor.
In her initial post sharing the cancer news, Timpf said doctors planned to perform a double mastectomy “as soon as possible.”
“Now, before you worry, my doctor says it’s stage 0 and is confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread,” she wrote at the time.
“I sat and listened as they told me that the best course of action would likely be a double mastectomy as soon as possible.”
In an update Thursday, Timpf shared a post-op photo from her hospital bed, with the words “censored” blocking out her feet.
“Your sense of humor will serve you well getting through this,” one supporter wrote in the replies.
“Helped me, immensely.”
“Awe, mama!” read another comment.
“We’re thinking of you and praying for all good things.”
“Girl, just follow your doctors instructions, rest, and do your best!” said another fan.
“Cancer is a journey and motherhood is forever!
“You go Kat! You got this.”
Timpf had previously implored fans to respect her decision to undergo surgery after some said a double mastectomy was “extreme” for stage zero cancer.
She noted that “every case of breast cancer is different” and her focus is on staying alive for her son.
“I don’t take cutting my t*** off lightly,” she quipped.
“As a general rule, I don’t think any woman does.
“I find it devastating,” she revealed.
“But I am very grateful to have access to the opinions of many brilliant minds when it comes to breast cancer.”
The Fox News star had kept up with her work as a political commentator on the popular late-night show “Gutfeld!” through her pregnancy.
Her fans and colleagues are eager for her return, with Greg Gutfeld wishing her a speedy recovery in the comments on her latest post.
“Can’t wait to have you back.,” Gutfeld wrote.
“Me too,” she replied.
