Katie also discussed changing her mind about motherhood after meeting her fiancé, comedian Jeff Arcuri.

The reality television personality plans to begin chemotherapy treatment after she completes her egg freezing process. 

Over the weekend, she also uploaded a video clip showcasing medicine, syringes, and alcohol prep pads. 

Adding context for her followers, she shared in her ‘Boobie Broadcast’ channel, ‘For those who aren’t familiar with fertility treatment, here is a typical schedule: 3 pills a day to keep my estrogen down. A sH๏τ in my stomach in the AM. Two sH๏τs in my stomach in the PM.’

The explainer continued, ‘Every other day I head to the clinic for a blood draw and ultrasound.’

She later noted, ‘I’m on my second week of this leading up to my egg retrieval. My emotions are crazy. My sleep/dreams are crazy. And I’m tired.’

Expressing graтιтude despite the grueling process, she wrote, ‘I have the opportunity to do this all over again for another two weeks.’

However, she admitted, ‘Part of me wants to let my body recover/prepare for whatever cancer treatments come my way in April.’

The update came one day after Valentine’s Day, as she wrote in an Instagram post, ‘Life update: I have breast cancer.’

She got candid as she continued, ‘Yesterday I saw all the couples post their Valentine’s Day celebrations. I felt envious, if I’m being honest. Jeff took me to Hawaii, and afterward, we were going to travel the world before planting roots together in NYC finally.’

The Washington native joined Bachelor Nation during Matt James’ season of The Bachelor in 2021.

She went on to become the Bachelorette later that year. Since then, she’s launched a comedy career and had multiple romances in the public eye.
