Some stories grab you—and don’t let go.
Katie Thurston, the fan-favorite from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, joins Inside the Wellspace with Cathy O’Brien to share a story no one expected. Just after moving to New York with her husband, comedian Jeff Arcuri, Katie was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer—a life-altering moment that tested her fear, resilience, and hope.
She opens up about navigating treatment, confronting uncertainty, and finding laughter and light even in the darkest moments. Katie also emphasizes the power of early detection, advocating for yourself in the medical system, and leaning on love and community when life shifts in unimaginable ways.
Heart-wrenching, inspiring, and unflinchingly authentic, Katie’s story offers perspective, guidance, and hope for anyone facing life’s toughest challenges.
