Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner Shares Update After Incurable Cancer Diagnosis

Gerry Turner is living life to the fullest.

The Golden Bachelor alum shared an encouraging update on his health four months after sharing that he’d been diagnosed with  a rare form of bone marrow cancer called Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia.

“I feel great,” Gerry said on the April 15 episode of the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast. “As I’ve said, until I have symptoms, there’s no treatment.”

The 73-year-old—who shares daughters Jenny, 50, and Angie, 42, with his late wife Toni Turner—went on to detail his evolving blood testing schedule, which indicates to him that his doctor sees him being able to live with his cancer for years to come.

“I go frequently for blood tests,” Gerry explained. “I’m on, like, a six-month schedule now, and I feel optimistic because the doctor has said, ‘Well, when you turn 75, we’re going to have to go three-month increments.’ So it’s telling me that at least he expects me to live another couple of years to get to that. But the bottom line is I feel really good.”
