[The doctors] said it can affect that and I think you might have to have a blood transfusion to get [the platelets] back up again, so I’ve got to go back and have my bloods done again.”Katie was first diagnosed with cancer back in 2002 when she was pregnant with her first child Harvey. Medical professionals found a rare form of cancer in the soft tissue on her finger and recently opened up about the ordeal with her podcast listeners.Katie was first diagnosed with cancer 23 years agoShe explained: “For some who didn’t know, when I was pregnant with Harvey I got a cancer called leiomyosarcoma. If you look at my finger, there is like a hole there and a scar there, I had it cut out twice. Can you see that dent? It never hurt.””But a lump started coming up and I thought I had been riding and done something to my finger. Anyway, cut a long story short it was leiomyosarcoma so I had to have MRI scans and all of that for six years until I was clear.”The reality TV star spoke to her sister on their podcast(Image: Nordin Catic, Getty Images for The Cambridge Union)Pricey is now concerned that the cancer has returned after noticing pain in her finger around three weeks ago.
