<p>Katie Thurston just received good news amid her breast cancer journey.</p>
<p>The "Bachelorette" alum, who first revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer in February, said following a three-month treatment plan, her tumors are shrinking. "This is amazing news and I am so relieved!" she wrote on Instagram July 7.</p>
<p>Thurston, 34, said that she will be on a treatment plan for life due to her metastatic, or stage 4, cancer diagnosis. In March, Thurston revealed that a recent PET scan detected spots on her liver, later confirming the cancer had spread. Stage 4 is defined by its spread "to a distant part of the body," per the National Cancer Institute.</p>
<p>"There isn't a cure for breast cancer. But as long as funding for medical research continues, especially for #metavivors , then we have a chance at continuing a long healthy life," she added.</p>

<p>Thurston said in February that she first grew concerned when she discovered a small lump in her breast during the summer of 2024. She would go on to receive a triple-positive breast cancer diagnosis, which is estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive and HER2 (human epithelial growth factor receptor 2)-positive. These hormones fuel cancer growth, and testing for these receptors helps determine treatment options.</p>
<p>News of Thurston's diagnosis came five months after she got engaged to comedian Jeff Arcuri. The pair married earlier this year.</p>
