Here’s why Katie Thurston paused her Cancer treatment
Katie Thurston recently shared a difficult update regarding her cancer battle. After being diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in February, she was preparing to start treatment when doctors discovered spots on her liver, raising concerns that the disease may have progressed to stage 4.
On March 24, Thurston took to Instagram’s Boobie Broadcast channel to reveal that her biopsy was scheduled for Friday (via E! News). “My biopsy is scheduled Friday which would have been my treatment day,” she said.
Her doctor expressed concern that the spots on her liver were likely cancerous, which would significantly change her diagnosis and treatment plan. She also reached out to others living with stage 4 cancer, seeking insight into their experiences with daily life and motherhood.
Thurston has been open about her medical journey, sharing the emotional and physical struggles of treatment. As part of a clinical trial, she received a Zoladex injection to help shrink tumors.
She said, “Do I cry too much? Hyperventilating too much? Not brave enough? I’m here to stay as long as they’ll allow it.” In addition to her treatment, Thurston is undergoing IVF to preserve her fertility for the future.
Her health update comes just days after she married comedian Jeff Arcuri in an intimate backyard ceremony on March 22. The couple announced their marriage on social media, sharing plans for a larger celebration once she completes her treatment (via US Weekly).
