Giuliana Rancic visited NBC's "Today" show yesterday where she opened up about recently being diagnosed with breast cancer. I regularly watch Giuliana on her reality series Giuliana and Bill where her life with husband Bill Rancic (Apprentice winner) is documented and shared with the world. On recent episodes of the reality series fans have been able to see the up close and personal struggles the couple encounters while trying to have a baby. The season 4 finale of Giuliana and Bill aired days ago with the optimistic couple undergoing a third round of In vitro. While fans eagerly awaited news of IVF success, Giuliana reveals, that success will now have to be put on hold due to her cancer diagnosis.
Giuliana explains,
“I wasn’t prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old, like I’d been told. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong. It was just a kick in the stomach.”
Recalling the moment she found out, Rancic said,
“I went into the hospital in L.A., when they came in to tell me, they said it pretty quickly, they just said, ‘I’m sorry, you have breast cancer. It’s what you expect. but so much more, it was like, incredible instant sobbing and the world just crashed down around me. I couldn’t believe it – 36 years old, no family history? I couldn’t believe it.”
The great news is doctors are optimistic and foresee a full recovery for Giuliana. Surgery is scheduled for later this week with 6 weeks of radiation to follow. When asked if this would permanently halt her plans to have a baby the star confirms,
“I still want this baby because this baby has saved my life. I truly feel God was looking out after me. If I had gotten pregnant later down the line, I could have been a lot sicker.”
My heart truly goes out to this couple. I know the breast cancer diagnosis along with the many failed attempts to conceive a child is enough to make anyone question their faith but I am so happy that Giuliana is able to remain hopeful in her efforts to one day become a mom.
