Katie Thurston to undergo double mastectomy and 'boob job'
Katie Thurston admitted the idea of undergoing a double mastectomy is a "challenge". The Bachelorette star was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in February and she has now revealed she will have an operation in a few months to remove her breasts and then have a "boob job" and it has been a difficult process to come to terms with. Speaking on the Off the Vine podcast, she explained: 'We waited to see that the medicine is working. And it is. "So we're gonna basically give it three more months, and then I can do a double mastectomy, get a boob job if I want, which is, I think, the route I'm gonna go... 'It's been a challenge of, like, 'I've worked my whole life to finally be confident in my breast era and then you're telling me I gotta chop them off and get new ones?' " The 34-year-old beauty joked her husband Jeff Arcuri hopes she goes bigger with her breast implants, even though she is a "petite" woman. Katie said: "With petite women sometimes, it can be too much." And Jeff interjected: "I make jokes, but I don't care." The reality star - who has put into medically-induced menopause earlier this month - is still hopeful about her future, even though she knows she will "technically" have cancer "forever". She said: 'My hope for the future is that, whether it's this year or next year, I'll be like, 'Hey guys, there's no evidence of disease.' "Even though technically, stage 4 is not curable. Technically, medically, I will have breast cancer forever. "But with so much advancement happening and the way that I caught it when I did, I'm very optimistic.' Despite her health issues, Katie has been doing her best to live life to the full and relished a recent vacation to Greece. She said on her Instagram Story: 'I enjoyed wine. I enjoyed the sugars, you know, the desserts. I enjoyed the memories that I'm making. 'Because what's the point of not living when you're given today? You know, when you're given life? And that's how I feel every day, I'm just like, 'Thank you.' Every night I go to bed, I'm like, 'Thank you for giving me today.''

Katie Thurston Gives Candid Look at Being in ‘Medically Induced Menopause' at 34 Amid Cancer Battle
Former Bachelorette Katie Thurston is opening up about a rarely discussed side effect of her stage IV breast cancer battle. 'What it's like to have hot flashes due to medically induced menopause,' Thurston, 34, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, July 20, sharing a screenshot of her Apple Health chart. Per a screenshot, Thurston spent eight hours and 54 minutes in bed, but she was only asleep for just over six hours. 'I have the option to add a prescription to the routine of meds I'm on, but tbh I'm just simply scared,' Thurston wrote in her caption. 'Every added pill comes with a new risk for side effects. But, I might be reaching my breaking point when it comes to quality of life.' Katie Thurston Details How Intimacy With Husband Jeff Arcuri Has Changed Since Breast Cancer Battle She continued, 'I'm always tired and uncomfortable.' Thurston was diagnosed with breast cancer in February, later discovering that the malignant tissue had spread to her liver, which elevated her diagnosis to stage IV. In order to adequately treat her specific type of cancer, doctors had to put her body into early menopause. 'Slept like s*** because I'm now in medically induced menopause, which means I get hot flashes,' she said in a social media video posted in May. 'Tonight I have to be social so I figured I would ease into that by being social with you guys during the day. In the meantime, show you kind of what a normal day looks like for me.' She added at the time, 'My lips have been chapped for what feels like two weeks straight. And so it's this game of, like, catch-up and trying to just make sure I get enough water. Which I was already bad at before medication and now it's like a true task every day to force myself to consume water. So, good morning!' Before Thurston went into menopause, she did a round of in vitro fertilization and froze embryos. 'I'm basically putting my ovaries into a temporary menopausal state (I like to say hibernation) to protect them from chemo,' Thurston said in a March Instagram update. 'It will also reduce estrogen production, which is particularly important in hormonereceptor-ER+/PR+ breast cancer as estrogen can fuel cancer growth.' A Timeline of Former Bachelorette Katie Thurston's Breast Cancer Battle: From Diagnosis to Treatment Thurston and her husband, Jeff Arcuri, also plan to use a surrogate to carry any future children down the line. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed earlier in March that the pair tied the knot. 'We were wanting to plan a wedding and there's a lot of emotions that come in with chemo and the impact and the health and we don't know what the next year looks like,' Thurston told Us. 'And one night he said, 'I want to show you that I still love you and that I'm here to stay. I'll get married to you tomorrow.' We flew our parents in from Michigan and Washington State. We got our marriage license and a friend is just gonna marry us.'
