Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner To Use Cancer To Help Others
Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner shocked Bachelor Nation when he made the announcement he has cancer. When he announced his diagnosis he said he hoped it would shed light on some of the events earlier this year which included his divorce from Theresa Nist.
Sources spoke with Life & Style and shared that Gerry is finally past the denial stage and now wants to use his platform for good. The source said, “Obviously, it’s a terrible thing that stopped him in his tracks. He was considered in excellent health and he was so active in sports like pickleball and golf, but he’s over the denial phase and wanting to help others with this disease by sharing his experience.”
Sadly, the form of cancer Gerry has is not curable. When he found out shortly after marrying Theresa, it made him stop in his tracks and make decisions to live differently. He was no longer interested in moving away from his family. The fact that he was dying changed his entire outlook. He reevaluated his future plans.
He Could Still Live A Long Life
Gerry Turner was diagnosed with a form of bone marrow cancer in which there is no cure. However, sources revealed that this form of cancer is slow growing and he has a good chance of surviving and living a long life.
Sources said, “The good news is he’s not going soon. He’s got a 60 percent chance of 10 years or more. His kids and relatives in Indiana are being super supportive, anything he needs they’re there. Theresa’s heart goes out to him, too, and she’s letting him know that he’s in her thoughts and prayers. Everyone is pulling for him.”
Now, Gerry hopes to help others by sharing what he’s going through with the world. He hopes it can help others cope with their own diagnosis.
He has previously revealed that he still wants to find lasting love even though he has a terminal form of cancer.
