Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner, 73, still leads active lifestyle playing pickleball amid incurable cancer


Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner still leads a very active lifestyle despite being diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia - which has no cure.

The Golden Bachelor star, 73, revealed the shock news to People in an article published on Wednesday - and stated that both he and ex-wife Theresa Nist had split only weeks after learning of his diagnosis. Turner told Nist about his blood disorder in February and after undergoing additional testing and a bone marrow biopsy, some weeks later his cancer was diagnosed. Nist also broke her silence on Gerry's cancer diagnosis while talking to People, and admitted she had been 'extremely upset' when Turner told her the devastating news during a trip to Indiana in March.
