Victoria Jackson only has a few months to live. The Saturday Night Live (SNL) alum shocked fans when she announced this on her Instagram page on August 14, 2024. Jackson added that her breast cancer is back and is now lodged in an area doctors cannot operate on. Nevertheless, she maintained a positive outlook and commented that she had lived a good life.
Who Victoria Jackson Is
Victoria Jackson is an actress and comedian who earned her first break on The Tonight Show. She later gained fame on Saturday Night Live between 1986 and 1992. Her memorable works include her impressions of Sally Struthers, Roseanne Barr, and Zsa Zsa Gabor. While working on SNL, Victoria Jackson also appeared in movies, including Best Years Gone, Baby Boom, Family Business, and The Pick-up Artist.
Jackson later ventured into television, but she only had limited success on the small screen. Her first attempt at starring in a TV production ended when the show was canceled. Victoria Jackson later appeared in an episode of In the Heat of the Night and played a role in an episode of The X-Files. She was also a regular on the sets of Romeo! and Strip Mall.
Jackson Was Once Diagnosed With Breast Cancer
Victoria Jackson once had breast cancer, but she went into remission. She first revealed her cancer diagnosis in 2016. In an Instagram post on August 2 of this year, Jackson disclosed more details about her health. The SNL star revealed that the cancer from almost a decade ago had returned. “It’s cancer! Back from 9 years ago!” Victoria Jackson wrote alongside a Bible passage from Psalms 18.
Jackson’s Tumor Is Inoperable
On August 13, Jackson revealed that she was getting tested to see if the cancer cells had spread. “CT scan to see if breast cancer cells have spread,” the actress posted. In her usual manner, she joked that she would be “tap dancing on the CT machine” and singing if she were in a musical. Several fans commented on the post, praying and commending her for her strength.
Victoria Jackson shared further details on August 14, where she confirmed that the cancer had spread. She revealed this on episode 11 of “Is the Cancer Back?'” series on Instagram to alert her followers. Jackson shared, “They [doctors] cannot operate and cut out the marble in my chest that is laying on my windpipe, and eventually would suffocate me to death.”
Jackson Has Three Years To Live
In addition to the disclosure, Victoria Jackson further announced some more dreadful news. The SNL alum announced that she only had about three years to live. She added that doctors promised to deliver a “magic pill” that would “hopefully” shrink the tumor weighing down her windpipe. “[The pill’s] going to be delivered to my front door within the next 12 hours. It’s based on Ribociclib, and it will shrink the marble, hopefully.” She said that a Google search showed her that people who take the pill have around 32.6 months to live.
Conclusion
Jackson noted that she had a fantastic life, saying it was close to the 70 years the Bible promised. The actress confessed that she was sad to leave, mentioning that there were still a few milestones she wanted to reach. She mentioned she wanted to see her grandson Jimmy be born in October and get to know him a little; she also said she’d like to see her daughter Aubrey have a baby. Hopefully, she would live long enough to see her dreams fulfilled.
