A former lead from “The Bachelorette” and her husband recently revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer. In her latest update, Ali Fedotowsky shared that her husband, Kevin Manno, is doing great after surgery.
Fedotowsky revealed that Manno’s thyroid cancer is now “totally gone.”
Ali Fedotowsky’s Husband Had Surgery to Remove Half His Thyroid
On February 27, Fedotowsky posted an update on Manno via her Instagram page. “I shared a little bit of the stories earlier and I realized I owed you guys all an update here since I haven’t since his surgery,” she wrote.
“The surgery went great and they only had to take half [his thyroid] out! We went in, not knowing if they’d have to take the whole thing or half,” Fedotowsky shared.
She added that “thankfully,” the cancer had not spread to Manno’s lymph nodes, which was “really the best possible scenario!”
Fedotowsky also shared, “Happy to report that this guy’s thyroid pathology report came back negative! Meaning the cancer is totally gone!” She continued, “He is smooth sailing from here on out!”
Manno will likely need to be on medication for the rest of his life to manage only having half his thyroid now. However, they are in a “wait-and-see at this point” on that front.
Kevin Manno Was Diagnosed With Papillary Thyroid Cancer
Manno and Fedotowsky revealed the news about his cancer diagnosis in a January 26 Instagram post. He was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer, which was considered a “very treatable cancer.”
The couple explained that doctors found two malignant spots on the right side of Manno’s thyroid. They initially believed it had spread to one lymph node as well.
Fedotowsky’s Instagram post, which contained the good news about Manno’s cancer journey, received hundreds of comments from fans and colleagues, noting their happiness with the results.
One person wrote, “So happy for you!!! I have kept you in my prayers every day!!! This is awesome!!!”
A supporter wrote, “Thank you so much for sharing your husbands story! Thats how I came across your page because I am also awaiting my partial thyroidectomy next month due to the same cancer and similar measurementments as your husband. Love seeing his successful outcome and hoping for the same story! 🙌❤️”
A fan added, “Congrats Ali and Kevin! So glad to read he is cancer free!! 🙌 been following you since Bachelor (pre Bachelorette!) days! 👏”
There were supportive comments left from “Bachelor in Paradise” star Kendall Long, actor Cameron Mathison, “The Bachelor” and “Married at First Sight” alum Jamie Otis, “Real Housewives” star Tamra Judge, and many others.
