Katie Thurston‘s cancer is progressing.
The Bachelorette alum shared that her breast cancer has now spread to her liver.
“Unfortunately, in my case, [a PET scan] did detect some spots on my liver that were a little suspicious,” she said in a March 28 Instagram video. “Because of this, I did have to then do a liver biopsy to see if my cancer has spread. After days of waiting, unfortunately, I did find out today that my breast cancer has spread to the liver.”
“It is fairly small,” she noted. “However, that does put me at stage 4.”
Thurston explained that her new treatment plan—which will include chemotherapy—begins on April 4.
“I know stage 4 can sound very scary, and it can be,” the 34-year-old continued. “However, given that I am triple-positive and the spots on my liver are fairly small and detected early, I feel very optimistic on my outcome.”
