Katie Thurston gives breast cancer update On Tuesday, May 6, Thurston took to her Instagram Stories to discuss the difficult side effects of her treatment. She revealed that monthly hormone-blocking injections suppress estrogen and progesterone. This has triggered menopause symptoms like hot flashes and extreme fatigue. 'Slept like s— because I'm now in medically induced menopause, which means I get hot flashes,' she shared. Thurston also admitted struggling with severe dehydration, saying, 'My lips have been chapped for what feels like two weeks straight.' She emphasized the challenge of staying hydrated, joking, 'Tired AF from menopause and dehydration AF from medication.' Beyond menopause symptoms, Katie Thurston gave a sobering update on her breast cancer from a recent doctor's visit. She revealed via her Boobie Broadcast channel that more than 10 of her lymph nodes have been affected which is an indicator of advanced cancer spread. 'That's a lot and puts me at risk for lymphedema,' she explained.

Thurston remains uncertain about the extent of surgery she may need. She wrote, 'How many lymph nodes will need to be removed… but still good to continue to build a list of questions to help aid my decision.'

Her open dialogue about medically induced menopause and related complications brings attention to often-overlooked aspects of cancer care, especially for younger women.

Katie Thurston shared a list on social media of 'what people don't see' about being a cancer patient The 34-year-old said what she deals with the most are brain fog and a lack of energy, which make her feel like she's 'deteriorating' She admitted that her stage 4 breast cancer journey is just beginning Katie Thurston is getting candid about how she's been feeling amid her stage 4 breast cancer journey, admitting that this is just the beginning. On April 22, the Bachelorette star posted on her Boobie Broadcast channel and shared 'what people don't see' about being a cancer patient. The list included anxiety, medical trauma, brain fog, insomnia, depression, menopause, grief, infertility, loneliness, fear of dying and more. Thurston, 34, said she 'felt seen' after sharing the list, and explained that the two main symptoms she's dealt with have been brain fog and a lack of energy. '[Husband Jeff Arcuri] and I were playing Tetris the other day and he yelled, 'Go right,' and with full confidence I went left instead and was confused why he kept repeating the instructions,' she recalled. 'It's funny in the moment for us, but also internally, added to the list of things that make me feel like I'm deteriorating. "I'm tired often and stopped fighting it," she continued. "Just sleep when I need it. Allowing myself the physical and mental recovery of everything.'

Remembering how close I was to almost starting chemo,' she continued. 'To many who haven't gone through cancer, they don't realize my experience is only beginning. That first scan I'll have in three months to see if my meds are working. My consultation with my radiologist still. Surgery. Etc.' Last week, Thurston appeared on Uncomfortable Conversations with Emmanuel Acho and broke down in tears discussing the 'hardest part' about her breast cancer diagnosis, which she first announced in February. 'I think being alone is the hardest, if I had to pick something,' she admitted. 'And that's why I'm so thankful just to have this online community. Jeff travels a lot for work, so he's actually gone for the next couple days. And soon this summer, he'll be gone internationally.'

'It's one thing to hear support from you, and it's so great and I am appreciative,' the reality star told Acho. 'But to hear from another cancer survivor like, 'I was on that exact regimen 15 years ago' — that gives me the biggest hope at the end of the day.' Thurston then started crying as Acho asked if hope is what she needs at the moment. She immediately replied yes. 'I think you have to have a reason to live. I think you have to have something that makes you want to see tomorrow,' she said. 'And I think without hope, you don't have that opportunity.' Read the original article on People

And that's included the fertility treatments she's undergone, like in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with the hopes that she and Jeff can start a family after her cancer battle. 'I thought I'd share the outcome of embryo freezing,' Katie on her Instagram Story March 31. 'We retrieved 17 eggs and attempted to fertilize them. Of the 17, only 6 were successfully fertilized.' 'And after genetic testing,' she continued, 'we have 2 embryos we were able to freeze, one Grade B and one Grade C. This is the reality of IVF.' One thing Katie has remained hopeful and inspired by is her husband's dedication to sticking by her through her health battle. In fact, the couple revealed how her diagnosis encouraged them to say 'I do' sooner than expected. 'We'll still will have a wedding in the future,' Katie told Us Weekly in a joint interview with Jeff March 23. 'But it was kinda just this really kind gesture of just him saying like truly, in sickness and in health. He's proving that he's here to stay.'
