Giuliana's journey has begun.
Giuliana Rancic announced Monday that she had breast cancer, and two days later had a double lumpectomy. Thankfully, husband Bill told the Today Show Thursday that the E! News host is "doing well" post-surgery.
"It was kind of a long day," Bill, 40 explained. "There's many steps in the process when you go through this. Because it was on both breasts, the morning started off with a two hour MRI where they had to put a guide wire in so the surgeon knew exactly what area to remove."

After a mammogram of the other breast and repeating the process, "we went into the surgery [which] lasted about two hours," Bill said. "She's a trooper. She pulled through it and was kind of relieved to get it over with and get the cancer out. She's doing well at home and recovering."
"I wish I could take some of the pain away," he told the Today Show. "Watching her being wheeled into that operating room was heartbreaking for me. I'm just doing everything I can to support her and make sure that she's comfortable."

Thankfully, the prognosis is good for 37-year-old Giuliana. "We're viewing this as a gift," Bill said. "It was caught accidentally very, very early."
Giuliana's doctor insisted she get a mammogram before going through her third round of IVF treatments, and that was when the cancer was discovered.

"I will be okay, because I found it early," she reassured fans Monday on the Today Show. Following her surgery, she has "radiation for six and a half weeks."
And the spouses of four years are determined to continue in their attempts to conceive once Giuliana's medical issues are resolved. "I'm not gonna give up," she said. When she does get pregnant, "That baby will have saved my life," she mused. "There's some master plan. Now I know that [God] was looking out for me."

12#1 Some people need to keep there thoughts to them selfs when it is distructive and cruel! NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE, deserves to go through having cancer! It to is cruel and does not discriminate age, gender or race. With that being said WHY would someone (listed below) be so mean as to comment about YOUR SUCCESSESS that have got YOU where you are in YOUR LIFE!! #2 As a 35 year old women that did not get married until she was 31 and also did not have any children out of wed lock have had struggles with successful pregnancies. With my 3rd pregnancy I am happy to say I have a beautiful 3mnth old baby Elizabella. I did not take any meds or treatments to become pregnant with any of my pregnancies BUT not everyone is as lucky as me to finally have a happy ending. My point is; DON'T WE ALL DESERVE THAT!?! May it be IVF or adoption you have the right and choice to have your happy ending! I can hardly wait to see Giuliana and Bill as parents because they are loving people and have loving famies and are going to be wonderful parents! Keep your head up and stay positive, god will never give you more than you can handle and everything happens for a reason, have faith ;)
Wow Cathy - so she was responsible and moral by not bringing children into this world w/o being married (or at least in a relationship that lasted more then 72 days) and now you're saying she brought the cancer on herself?? She probably was infertile in her twenties too but didn't know it as again, she was being responsible by not bringing a baby into this world when she wasn't ready...
Cathy you're stupid.
I'm glad she kept trying..because finding it early is whats going to save her. I'm glad she's doing well..and i pray the cancer will be gone forever ant that her and her husband do conceive. they will be GREAT parents!! They deserve to conceive and have a baby!
My thoughts and prayer are with Giuliana and Bill. With God's love everything is going to turn out good for them.
My prayers are with you Giuliana and Bill. You have the Lord guiding your steps...keep walking with faith and trust in Him! God Bless
Ok, so you spend the first 25 years of your fertile life preventing pregnancy and then when you are 40 you decide you need a child...so you pump yourself up with hormones and of course you make videos of the process because hey it's television...and so now you have given yourself cancer and no baby...but hey...you got a lot of money and homes and restaurants along the way. Well you can always buy a baby like the other selfish hollywood women do these days. Sorry about the cancer but even dogs get breast cancer if you don't neuter them or breed them before they get too old. I am sure next year we will all be blessed with the picture of the twins you will have.
You are in my prayers. You are such a strong and beautiful woman. Good luck in the future.
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family G !!!
Prayers are with her, and her family.
That's great! we're keeping you in our prayers,G!
Excellent news! Feel better !
