Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky shared with her fans that her husband, Kevin Manno, is currently battling papillary thyroid cancer. In a joint Instagram post, the couple revealed that Manno has two malignant spots on his right side and possibly one in a lymph node, pending surgery. Fedotowsky requested insights from followers who have experience with thyroid cancer diagnoses, specifically in regards to partial or full thyroid removal.
Despite the somber news, Fedotowsky and Manno remain positive, with Manno stating in a video update that the prognosis is hopeful and the upcoming surgery on February 10th is expected to be successful. The couple, married since 2017 with two children, have already met with surgeons to discuss the next steps.
While the diagnosis is concerning, Fedotowsky revealed that they received positive feedback from an oncologist who described papillary thyroid cancer as a “boring cancer” due to its high treatability. The couple is appreciative of the love and support from their followers during this challenging time.
