The 36-year-old author and comedian quipped that, despite missing some essential parts after her double mastectomy, she still isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
In an interview with The New York Times, Timpf spoke about the realities of being a mom after losing her breasts and getting implants.
“Something about breast cancer is — I don’t want to say embarrassing,” she said.
“People are like, ‘Are you breastfeeding?’ And you have to be like, ‘I just cut my tits off.’
“It’s a weird thing, which is part of the reason why I’ve decided to be so open about it.”
Gutfeld! fans know that Timpf isn’t one to shy away from her health struggles when she’s going back and forth with host and fellow comedian Greg Gutfeld.
During one show, the panel discussed Sydney Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle jeans ad, which showcased the actress’s curvy figure.
Timpf said, “I was watching it on the couch.
“And I thought, ‘Should I have gone bigger?’”
Despite returning to silver screens and performing at sold-out comedy shows, the Fox News star admitted that it’s been a rocky comeback.
“I’ve been through a lot, but I’m also still kind of going through it,” she said.
“Like, ‘I still don’t have nipples’ is probably the best way to describe it.”
Timpf got her first cancer red flag when her sister noticed a lump on her nipple as she was trying to induce labor.
The host got her diagnosis 15 hours before labor began.
ROAD TO RECOVERY
The new mom said that she only had one month to recover from childbirth before she had to undergo the double mastectomy.
She remembers having open wounds from the surgery and still bleeding from childbirth as her newborn son cried out for his mom.
Timpf said that she couldn’t hold her child at some points in the recovery and had to call someone else to help.
Timpf hopes that her honesty both on Gutfeld! and in her personal projects will help women suffering from breast cancer to be honest about their struggles.
One lesson that she learned is that breast reconstruction is a journey that takes place through a series of surgeries.
She said her nipples will be reconstructed throughout the next year.
“I don’t think that those are small things,” said the host.
“I think that those are big things.”
