Katie’s connection to 1000-Lb. Sisters

Katie was Amy and Tammy Slaton’s cousin and appeared on multiple episodes of the TLC series. The reporting identifies her as a family member who appeared on the show, not as one of its principal cast members. In an earlier support appeal, Tammy said Katie “has been on my show” and that the family had recently learned she had cancer, as quoted by The Independent.

What was reported about her illness

News reports said Katie was diagnosed with stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma earlier in 2025 and received chemotherapy before her death. That is reported medical background; the public accounts cited here do not establish additional clinical details, and no more specific cause or treatment timeline should be inferred.

Tammy had also publicly asked for support for Katie during her illness. The Independent reported that a fundraiser had raised more than $2,000 before Katie died; that is a figure reported at the time, not a current fundraiser status or an independently audited total.
