Katie Thurston is losing her hair and, sadly, her memory.
The former “Bachelorette” star, who is battling breast cancer that metastasized to her liver, took to Instagram over the weekend to give her followers a candid update.
“I just finished my second month of treatment, and if you’re asking how long treatment is — technically, forever,” Thurston, who was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in February, said in a selfie-style video.
The following month, she revealed the disease had spread to her liver, putting her at stage 4.
“I am optimistic about medical advancements in the future. Fingers crossed as a stage 4 girlie,” she told her fans Sunday.
“But right now, after finishing two months of my medication, my hair is coming out in an unnatural amount of clumps. Working on that,” she shared.
“Um, I’m losing my memory. That’s great going through customs and them being like, ‘Where are you coming from?’ And I looked at him and was like, ‘I don’t remember. I don’t remember.'”

Thurston noted that she and her husband, Jeff Arcuri, whom she wed in March, recently got into “a little disagreement.”
“I was like, ‘This has happened before.’ He’s like, ‘When?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know, but I know it has,'” the reality personality recalled, admitting that she and the comedian are “able to laugh about it now.”
Thurston also confessed that she gets conflicted on how to feel about her health struggles.
“Cancer is s–t,” she said plainly. “Sometimes, I’m like, ‘Stop feeling bad for yourself.’ But then others, I’m like, ‘No, you’re allowed to feel bad for yourself. Cancer f–king sucks.'”
She also explained that she’s at the point of her treatment where she has to “make big decisions” about how to tackle the cancer in her liver.
The former “Bachelor” contestant — who previously announced that she’s in “medically induced menopause” — added that she “might have to get [her] ovaries taken out,” as the medications she’s tried have not been “suppressing [her] ovaries slash hormones.”
However, she made sure to point out that it’s National Cancer Survivors Day, saying with a touch of sarcasm, “Every day that I’m alive, I’m a survivor. So go me, I guess.”
