Bachelorette star Katie Thurston, 34, expressed distress over false online reports claiming she died while battling stage 4 breast cancer, calling the rumors "triggering" and emotionally overwhelming. She shared tearful messages on Instagram after friends and family reached out in concern, criticizing social media platforms for allowing the misinformation to spread. In a humorous response, she posted a joke video promoting a coffin company, quipping she was “up here chilling with God.” Thurston, diagnosed in February, revealed her cancer-related liver lesions have disappeared on their own, and she plans a double mastectomy in November if future scans remain positive. She continues lifelong treatment and remains open about her journey, including side effects like memory loss, to support others facing similar challenges.
