Saturday Night Live Victoria Jackson shared an update on her health with her fans, and although it wasn’t good news, she couldn’t resist adding some humor to the announcement. Jackson made the announcement herself in a video posted on Instagram.
In the video, Jackson revealed that she now has an inoperable tumor in her windpipe. She explained that medical professionals “can’t operate and cut out the marble in my chest that’s on top of my windpipe, and that I’m ultimately going to suffocate.” Next, she will take a “magic pill” that will “hopefully shrink the marble,” Jackson said. The pill “is based on ribociclib,” which is designed to slow or stop cancer growth.
