The Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner speaks openly about living with his incurable cancer condition through his courage and genuine personality.
On Bachelor Happy Hour, Turner revealed his diagnosis with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia at age 73. Turner feels well even with his cancer diagnosis and continues living his daily life without significant changes.
He feels positive about his condition, as he revealed this information during his interview with Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt. He told me my doctors will need to examine me every three months starting when I reach 75. The doctor’s words imply I will live a longer life.
The famous restaurateur and beloved figure disclosed that his medical diagnosis made him view life differently. He explained that living each day as if it were his last brings him a unique privilege.
He has not rejected any invitations since his medical news. I embrace all parts of life, including my feelings towards other people, now.
Turner focuses on enjoying everything and takes every opportunity he encounters. The moment my partner suggests doing something, I answer before she completes her statement.
He discovered cancer in his body during late 2024 when shoulder pain caused him to visit a doctor. During that period he refused to face reality.
After finding out about his illness, he adopted a new attitude toward life, taking cues from the song Live Like You Were Dying by Tim McGraw.

Despite not knowing what lies ahead, Gerry Turner chooses to enjoy life with happiness and loves his choices without looking back.
