ABC’s “The Bachelor” Star Katie is dealing with a high and low in life right now as the beautiful Reality TV star just got married but also revealed that she’s dealing with cancer.
Last month, Katie revealed the sad news that her breast cancer has spread to her liver and is now at stage 4.
She just also revealed that it isn’t curable.
Katie said:
“I have stage 4 breast cancer, which is considered terminal because it isn’t curable — but that doesn’t mean I’m dying right now. With today’s treatments, many people live for years, even decades, while managing it like a chronic illness. It’s serious, but it’s not the end.
Also you can be stage 4 by definition but have ‘no evidences of disease.’ Think of it as tiny little cancer punks flowing through my body. They are there forever. But they haven’t been able to recruit an army or even a little gang. So these punks aren’t even big enough to show up on our scans. We know they are around. But they aren’t big enough to do much. Currently shrinking their army.”
She’s also stopping chemo and going with a new plan;
“I’ve been on ⅔ so far and they’ve been manageable. Sleepy and sometimes irritable with the occasional night time hot flashes. However, yes this final medication makes me nervous. I was told to take it in the AM so that I can monitor for side effects. I’ve heard AMAZING results from those who are on Kisqali so I’m also excited to get going!”
We’re wishing Katie so much love, prayer, support and success with her journey.
After her time was cut short on the inaugural season of “The Golden Bachelor,” Joan Vassos, the 61-year-old grandmother and school administrator from Rockland, Maryland, will begin her own journey for new love this fall when she steps into the historic role as the first Golden Bachelorette. The fan favorite will bring her signature grace and charm as she embarks on a search for her next person, showcasing that everyone is worthy of more than just a second chance at love, when “The Golden Bachelorette” premieres Wednesdays this fall on ABC and streams next day on Hulu.
Vassos is a remarkable woman whose life has been defined by her resilience, zest for adventure and strong family values. It was those family values that led to her heartbreaking decision to leave “The Golden Bachelor,” self-eliminating after a medical concern with her daughter arose. Despite that and other challenges she’s faced along the way – including the heartbreaking loss of her husband after 32 years of marriage – Vassos remains an embodiment of strength and grace as a devoted mother of four, grandmother of two, and school administrator, while finding solace in the music of Elton John, spending time with her dog, and cooking. Now, as she steps into the golden spotlight and begins her journey to seek love once more, Vassos envisions a future filled with shared moments by the beach and cherished time with family.
