The Bachelorette’s Katie Thurston Diagnosed With Breast Cancer at Age 34: Health Updates


The Bachelorette alum Katie Thurston revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 34 years old. Updates on her health as she battles cancer.

Katie added that this time the lump was “painful,” which she said led to more “doubt and delay” on getting it checked out because “most websites” said that “breast cancer doesn’t hurt.” “I thought it was PMS or working out … My first lump (benign cyst) felt like a pea or marble [and] hard, unnatural, but didn’t cause me discomfort. Even though Katie doesn’t know the specifics of what stage her breast cancer is in, she announced that she would be receiving chemotherapy, as well as having a mastectomy.
