Bachelorette’s Katie Thurston Shares Cancer Treatment Plan After Stage 4 Diagnosis
Katie Thurston got some good news amid her cancer battle.
The former Bachelorette star—who recently shared that her breast cancer diagnosis is now stage 4 after spreading to her liver—revealed that sher plans to undergo chemotherapy were cancelled as her doctor called her with encouraging new test results.
“Today I was supposed to start chemo,” Katie captioned an April 4 Instagram video of herself enjoying a sunset with husband Jeff Arcuri. “I had my cold cap, my cold socks, snacks, blankets, medications, entertainment ready. My aunt Lindsey flew in to be with me this weekend for recovery. However, yesterday I got the call that my pathology results on my liver, breast, and lymph nodes all came back as HER2 Negative even though my original samples as Kaiser were HER2+.”
“I was minutes away from taking my steroid for chemo prep,” she added. “Instead I am headed to my doctor to discuss how this happened, what testing is needed, and what this means for my new treatment plan.”
The 34-year-old continued to say that she believes chemotherapy is “off the table for now,” but remains uneasy about what this update means for her.
