SNL Alum Victoria Jackson Shares She Has Inoperable Tumor

As a longtime fan of Victoria Jackson and her incredible talent that graced Saturday Night Live for six years, hearing about her cancer journey is truly heartbreaking. However, it’s also inspiring to see how she continues to face this challenge with such courage and grace.


Victoria Jackson is sharing an update on her cancer journey.

The individual who starred on Saturday Night Live between 1986 and 1992, now aged 65, disclosed nine years after her initial diagnosis that her breast cancer had returned. In an August 1 Instagram video, she casually mentioned, “I’ve been through this before.”

Two weeks past, Jackson shared some fresh insights, unveiled on a detailed video, August 14th’s episode in the Instagram sequence chronicling his adventure. I, being an ardent fan, eagerly awaited every installment!

“Regarding the cancer situation, it appears surgery isn’t an option due to a growth near my windpipe in my chest. This mass could ultimately cause asphyxiation. However, Jackson shared that the medical team is prescribing a ‘miracle drug’ for her,” is one possible paraphrase.

As a die-hard fan, I’m anxiously hoping for the drug with Ribociclib to work wonders in helping Jackson fight against the tumor. She bravely disclosed that medical projections have given her approximately 32.6 months, which translates to a little over two and a half more years on this earth. I’m crossing my fingers and sending all the positive vibes possible!

“Jackson mused, ‘Even though we all inevitably face death, knowing you have about 32 months left makes you ponder, doesn’t it?’ He exclaimed, ‘I wouldn’t want to change a thing! Yet, if I could make one request of God, I’d ask to pass away peacefully in my sleep.'”

During her six-year stint at SNL, Jackson was recognized for her recurring segments on the Weekend Update, as well as her imitations of celebrities such as Roseanne Barr, Sally Struthers, and Zsa Zsa Gabor.
