Former Bachelorette lead Katie Thurston has been undergoing treatment for Stage 4 breast cancer for several weeks now and she shared an emotional message with fans on July 3.
In a candid video recorded during a vacation in Greece, Thurston said that cancer has become a "trained lifestyle" for her. She shared some good news — her recent scans for skin cancer all came back negative — and revealed that she's slated to undergo some additional scans on July 7 that will tell doctors how her cancer is reacting to treatment.
"I allow myself the freedom to not think about #breastcancer. And when I do, it’s still a practiced mentality of trying to stay hopeful over fearful. But as much as it’s nice 'ignoring' my diagnosis for a little bit, I also still have learned the consequences of ignoring my health," Thurston captioned the post.

"Had my skin checked and two biopsies came back benign (not cancer)! Getting a colonoscopy later this month. But of all the things, I’m getting my updated scans in a week to see how the medicine has been after taking #kisqali for three months. Thankful for today, hopeful for tomorrow," she added.
Thurston received a great deal of support from friends and fans.
"It’s God girly. Not the universe. He loves you. Jesus is literally the only way I got through my near death experience. God literally spoke to me. Talk to him he’s there!!!" one person wrote.
"Faith over fear. Inhale courage. Exhale fear," someone else said.
"I always say, 'I don’t want to die twice' so I’m living in this life with stage 4 with a heart full of joy because the other option doesn’t exist for me," a third comment read.

"You make me cry. You’re so real and how you share your story in such a real way and being vulnerable is amazing. I totally get as most of us who have had or have cancer, that when it’s scan time, it’s scary. I go on September 2nd and I will say to my husband like I did last year as we walked into the hospital. The holidays are gonna be fantastic or they’re going to be miserable and we will know within a couple of hours. You simply are doing amazing, Katie. Everything you say re how you think is so spot on!! We are here cheering you on!!" a fourth Instagram user added.
Thurston was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. She's 34-years-old.
