Katie Thurston opens about how her battle with breast cancer has affected her close relationship with a husband Jeff Arches.
“Maybe in the short term just because of all the medical things I was going through,” Thurston, 34, wrote through Instagram story On Saturday, April 12, in response to a question from a fan who asked and changed “intimacy” to her since being diagnosed Breast Cancer in February.

He finished, “Currently shrinking their army,” with a middle finger emoji.
Weekly US confirm On March 22, Thurston and Arcuri, 36, tied the knot in the middle of her health journey. “I want to be able to be in hospital with her and be like, ‘My wife is there.’ There is more power to that, ”Arcuri told us at the time. “I don’t want to be with you for any of this.”
