(WJW) — “Saturday Night Live” alum Victoria Jackson announced in a video on Instagram this week she has inoperable cancer and fewer than three years to live.

Jackson, 65, appeared on SNL between 1986 and 1992. She was most well-known for her performances on “Weekend Update.”

Jackson was diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2016.

She cracked a joke in her caption on the video, saying: “Cancer Update: 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,” she said. “So, they’re giving me a magic pill…and it will shrink the marble — hopefully.”

She said her research on the pill showed that people who took the pill had “32.6 months to live…something like that.”

“We’re all dying, but when you kind of see in print you have 32.6 months,” she said. “It makes you think, you know. I wouldn’t change anything.”

She said she hopes she has long enough to see her grandson, Jimmy, be born in October and to get to know him. And she wants to see her daughter have a baby. She said she will also ask God to let her pass away in her sleep.

“I’ve had a fantastic life,” she said in the video.
