“Bachelorette Star Katie Thurston Reveals Stage 4 Breast Cancer Diagnosis”
Katie Thurston, former star of “The Bachelorette,” disclosed on Friday that her breast cancer has progressed to stage four and has spread to her liver. Thurston confirmed her Stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis in an Instagram post, explaining that she has yet to start treatment as she is focusing on her fertility options first. Following various tests including a breast ultrasound, mammogram, biopsy, CT scan, bone density scan, and MRI, Thurston was informed of the cancer spreading to her liver during a PET scan in New York. Despite the challenging news, Thurston remains optimistic about her treatment, which is set to begin on April 4 with chemotherapy. She emphasizes that being triple positive and having detected the liver spots early gives her hope for a positive outcome. Thurston’s openness about her diagnosis came shortly after her recent marriage to comedian Jeff Arcuri. Thurston, known for her appearances on reality television shows such as “The Bachelor” and her role as the lead on “The Bachelorette,” shared her journey battling cancer with courage and determination.
