After a scary misdiagnosis, Katie Thurston found out the cancer is already in Stage 4 and has spread to the lungs. Despite having cancer at only 34 years old, she remains positive about the outcome. She took to social media to talk about how embracing the cancer ‘lifestyle’ has helped her.

‘Bachelorette’ star Katie Thurston was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. She opened up about embracing the cancer ‘lifestyle.’

Katie Thurston tried to find a husband on multiple reality shows. She was on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor before being named the lead for Season 17 of The Bachelorette. She did fall in love with Blake Moynes and get engaged, but they broke up after a year. Katie had a brief romance with Vince Xu after meeting on FBoy Island.

But it turned out that her husband wasn’t on reality TV. She met Jeff Arcuri when she began a comedy career in Los Angeles. Katie Thurston initially kept their romance a secret, but went public with the relationship in early 2024. They got engaged in the summer.
