The comedian and actor, 65, made the announcement in a video on Instagram.

She captioned the post: “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.”

In the video, Jackson explained that doctors “cannot operate and cut out the marble in my chest that is laying on my windpipe, and eventually would suffocate me to death.”

She went on to say that she is preparing to take a “magic pill” containing Ribociclib, a type of cancer growth blocker, that she healthcare providers had told her “will shrink the marble, hopefully.”

Jackson, who first revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, remained upbeat and told her followers: “I’ve had a fantastic life.”

“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.”

Jackson has been a controversial figure recently and hit the headlines after writing a book documenting her journey from US TV star to right-wing Conservative. 

Last year, she sparked outrage when she quoted Bible verses to support her condemnation of her city’s local Gay Pride Parade.

In a video that went viral, Jackson introduced herself by name during a town hall meeting in Jackson, Tennessee, before announcing claiming that “God hates sodomy”.

“He hates homosexuality – he said it’s an abomination. And God hates sexual immorality, all kinds,” she said.

“And God hates pride. Like, one of the most things he hates is pride,” she added, before reading Proverbs 11:12.

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace but with humility comes wisdom. The Lord detests all the proud of heart.”
