Katie Thurston‘s ongoing battle with breast cancer has taken a toll on her body, pushing her into menopause through her treatment for stage 4 breast cancer.
The former reality TV star candidly shared a video on social media discussing how the cancer treatment has triggered hot flashes due to the induced menopause.
Chemotherapy, a common treatment for cancer, often leads to early menopause in women, explaining Katie’s experience as she battles her aggressive form of breast cancer.
Katie expressed how the hot flashes disrupt her sleep and mentioned struggling with dehydration and chapped lips due to the medications she is taking.
In February, Katie revealed her breast cancer diagnosis shortly after getting engaged to comedian Jeff Arcuri, leading them to cut short their travel plans for her treatment.
Katie shared the emotional rollercoaster she went through post-diagnosis and actively sought support from other women facing similar challenges.
Despite the challenges, Katie and Jeff tied the knot a month after her diagnosis, showing resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
