Katie Thurston, who served as The Bachelorette on Season 17 of the ABC reality show, announced Saturday that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Thurston then went on to star in Season 3 of The CW’s FBoy Island and made an appearance during Season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise.
“Life update: I have breast cancer,” Thurston’s Instagram post begins.
The selfless love that you smother me in is beyond anything I imagined I’d be blessed with.
