Katie Thurston Shares Huge Gesture From Jeff Amid Cancer Battle
Bachelorette Katie Thurston remains open about her cancer journey. This past week she had numerous tests completed in Los Angeles to help determine her next course of action. She had another biopsy done, a nuclear bone scan and also a CT scan.
The good news is that while the cancer is in her lymph nodes as expected, it has not spread anywhere else. Now, since she has more details and doctors know what they are dealing with she can begin her fight.
Katie’s insurance goes into effect on March 1 in New York so she will do all of her treatments there. She will be seeking fertility treatment first to harvest eggs and freeze embryos. Then, she will undergo chemotherapy before finally having surgery. Katie has not disclosed if she will be having a single or double mastectomy.
After getting engaged, Katie has been planning on moving to New York to be with Jeff Arcuri. However, that wasn’t supposed to happen until April. When she found out she had breast cancer, she originally planned to go home to Washington so her family could help and support her.
Instead of doing that she has a new plan. Jeff canceled his comedy world tour to be able to be with her all the time and give her the support she needs to fight this terrible disease. She noted how grateful she is for his selfless act.
