"Saturday Night Live" star Victoria Jackson is speaking out about an inoperable tumor in her windpipe.
The Floridian funnywoman, who starred on the NBC sketch series from 1986 to 1992, shared the news in a candid Instagram caption, writing, "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.
"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 in her Instagram video posted Wednesday. Jackson, 65, has previously battled breast cancer and shared with followers that she had been prescribed a drug to help shrink the cancer.
She continued: "They're giving me a magic pill. It's going to be delivered to my front door within the next 12 hours."

"I've had a fantastic life," she told her fans via Instagram, but added that she still had a bucket list before dying.
"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 told followers.
While Jackson, a known supporter of former President Donald Trump, will be remembered for her bubbly brand of "SNL" comedy, she also has turned heads for decades for her controversial conservative slant on a number of issues.
Last year, she objected to a gay pride parade in Franklin, Tennessee, an affluent suburb around 20 miles outside of Nashville, Tennessee, according to The Los Angeles Times and the New York Post.
She has also previously posted several anti-Islamic entries on her official website. In an Aug. 1 Instagram post, Jackson shared that her cancer had returned after nine years, adding a Bible verse. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016.
