Katie Price Undergoing Tests After Pain in Finger Previously Treated for Cancer

Doctors have not confirmed a recurrence, with imaging and repeat blood tests pending.

Overview

  • The 47-year-old said the same finger treated for leiomyosarcoma in 2002 has been painful for about three weeks and will be X-rayed.
  • She told her podcast that no lump is visible now, yet pressing the area hurts and the pain has not resolved.
  • Recent blood work showed a very low platelet count, which she says relates to fatigue and weight loss, and her clinicians raised the possibility of a transfusion.
  • She plans repeat blood tests to verify the findings and says she is worried about the results but hopes it is not a recurrence.
  • The disclosures came on The Katie Price Show with her sister Sophie and were reported by UK outlets on Sept. 4–5, with no formal medical confirmation issued.
