“Hey everybody, this is not a TikTok, it's a ‘SickTok,’” Kate joked in the beginning of the video. “I’m in the hospital, but it’s because I had lung cancer surgery yesterday."

Kate explained that her diagnosis was "really weird, because I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life — so, uh, you know, it was a surprise."

“But, also, I guess...it happens, and so the greatest news is they caught it early, they got it out, I’m all good.”
