Joan Vassos Overjoyed As Bachelorette Announces Cancer Update
When viewers first met Olney, Maryland’s Joan Vassos, she was vying for Gerry Turner’s heart on the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor. They actually seemed like an incredible fit, but her family needed her, so she went home. Fortunately, she got a second chance when she was cast as the first-ever Golden Bachelorette. There, Joan met Chock Chapple, and he was the one from the start. The two became engaged and continue to go strong while blending families. She is also very supportive of those in her Bachelor Nation family, and is celebrating some big news.
Bachelorette fan favorite Katie Thurston has been battling cancer for some time now. Followers have been awaiting each and every update, and she has a great one to share. Via social media, Katie posted a message she received explaining how she has breast mass shrinkage. This is a dream come true, and the person who sent Katie the note told her it was cause for celebration. Katie went on to add that everything she is doing has helped, so she is on the right track.
This was the Bachelorette alum’s six-month checkup, and she did admit that she is still holding off on some things. Katie will not undergo a mastectomy and has opted to wait some more time. There are many factors that went into this decision, and it is not one she handled lightly. Immediately, Katie received immense support, including love from Joan Vassos.
She stated that she only hopes Katie keeps getting these amazing messages and was thrilled for her Bachelor Nation friend. Even Rachel Lindsay chimed in, stating how “amazing” this news was. It has been an uphill battle, and Katie deserves to celebrate.
