Katie Thurston Shares Updates After Receiving a Successful Double Mastectomy — More Here
Sending our love!
Former Bachelorette Katie Thurston was diagnosed with breast cancer early last year and has been keeping followers updated with her treatment journey online.
Katie later revealed the news that her breast cancer had spread to her liver and is now at stage 4. Soon after, she started a new treatment plan that seems to be working, as the tumors in her body have been shrinking.
Recently, Katie discussed pausing her cancer treatments for a short period of time and getting a double mastectomy, followed by implants directly afterward.
Now, the Bachelor Nation star has received her surgery and took to social media to share updates post-op.
Katie’s husband, comedian Jeff Arcuri, had been posting on Instagram to keep followers updated and Katie later reposted them on her own account.
He first shared a photo of Katie dressed for surgery and said, “This beautiful bada** just went in for surgery for her double mastectomy. She is in amazing hands and spirits are HIGH. I’ll be updating everyone as soon as I can!”
He later followed up and revealed that Katie was successfully out of surgery and everything went great.
Once he was able to see her, Katie posted a funny video of herself recovering in the hospital and Jeff trying to help put her hair up into a bun.
Hours later, the two updated that it was “discharge day,” as they were officially released from the hospital. Katie then posted a photo of her and Jeff outside in the city, holding up a daisy.
We’re so glad that Katie’s surgery went well and she’s now home from the hospital. We’re sending our love to her and hoping she has a smooth recovery!
