Katie Thurston Having To Remind Herself To Eat And Drink
Bachelorette star Katie Thurston just started treatment for breast cancer. She was diagnosed just a few months ago. The initial rest results in February were wrong and luckily, she doesn’t need chemo. But that doesn’t mean the cancer treatment she’s undergoing is easy. The reality star opened up about why she’s having trouble eating and drinking. Keep reading to find out the latest hurdle in her cancer battle.
Katie Thurston’s Cancer Battle
From the very moment she arrived on TV screens and at the Bachelor mansion, Katie Thurston has laid it all out on the line. No topic is off limits for her, not even when it comes to intimacy. She famously presented Matt James with a vibrator when she first met him on Season 25 of The Bachelor.
Katie continued to be an open book with fans through her departure from The Bachelor, every step of her Bachelorette journey and every moment – big or small – since then.
And Katie Thurston has had a lot of big moments lately, some good and some really bad. Last summer she got engaged to comedian Jeff Arcuri after dating for a few months. They weren’t planning to get married immediately but life had other plans for them.
The Bachelorette star was diagnosed with breast cancer in February. She initially tested HER2+ but after getting a second opinion, new tests showed that she was actually HER2 negative. That means that while she does have breast cancer, it’s not as aggressive as previously thought.
Luckily she hadn’t undergone any chemo treatments before the second opinion tests. However, she still thinks the initial hospital should be held accountable for the misdiagnosis.
The HER2 positive test results caused Katie to start IVF in hopes of having children with Jeff Arcuri someday. The couple eloped a month after Katie’s cancer diagnosis.
Bachelorette Fan Thanks Katie Thurston For Being Candid
The reality star has shared every step of her cancer journey on social media on the Boobie Broadcast channel on her Instagram. She also reunited with former Bachelor Nation host Emmanual Acho for a no-holds-barred interview on his Uncomfortable Conversations podcast.
The conversation did address uncomfortable topics, including how long Katie has to live. However, one fan sent Katie a message on Instagram praising her for being so open and honest.
The fan wrote that she doesn’t have cancer, but went through a heartbreaking pregnancy loss. She could relate to everything Katie said on the podcast and it made her feel “seen.”
Katie Thurston Having To Remind Herself To Eat And Drink
Katie Thurston recently started cancer treatment, which includes oral medication. She previously talked about how the side effects were affecting her s*x life with her husband.
In a new vulnerable post, she elaborated on more unexpected side effects. She revealed that she has “brain fog” and is extremely tired from the treatment.
Katie Thurston added that she has rarely been thirty or hungry since starting the medication and has to remind herself to eat and drink. She mused over what she could do to give her life a ‘spark’ right now. The Bachelorette star contemplated a new hair color. “New color. New chapter,” she wrote.
Despite the side effects, Katie Thurston is determined to fight the cancer with everything she’s got.
