‘The Bachelorette’ Alumna Katie Thurston Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis
The Bachelorette alumna Katie Thurston took to Instagram today to share that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Thurston, who began her Bachelor Nation career as a contestant on Season 25 of ABC’s reality fixture The Bachelor, said she spent her Valentine’s Day holiday figuring out next steps, including accommodations as she relocates to Los Angeles for testing and treatment amid a flurry of appointments with biopsy, fertility and mental health specialists, among other medical professionals. Thurston followed up the post by addressing community questions on her Instagram Story, saying she is waiting to learn the stage of her cancer, that previous genetic testing did not reveal the BRCA gene and her family doesn’t have a history of the illness. Thurston, who once underwent a lumpectomy for a benign cyst, said she initially thought she had no cause for concern, thinking the bump could be old scar tissue, related to her period or soreness from working out.
