Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Giuliana Rancic Has Breast Cancer

Photo: E!'s Giuliana Rancic on October 13

OK. I’d just read that E! News host Giuliana Rancic is attempting in-vitro fertilization—for the third time, you guys!—and while I’m totally optimistic for Rancic and her husband, yawn. I mean, I love Joan Rivers on Fashion Police as much as the next girl does, but IVF treatment is not exactly what I call news. Zzz.

This is news, though: Giuliana Rancic has breast cancer. What’s more, those IVF treatments I’d just been yawning at probably saved Rancic’s life—the cancer was detected by Rancic’s fertility doctor, entirely the result of a precautionary mammogram.

Unfortunately, the Rancics have had to delay their attempts at starting a family. On the plus side, Giuliana’s doctor caught the cancer in its early stages. Rancic will briefly leave work at E! for treatment and recovery.

Rancic announced her illness (and excellent prognosis) on this morning’s episode of Today.

Godspeed, woman.

  • Julianna is like a part of my family, Ive seen her so often..so Ill take her iv boring, or good interviewing, or winging it w/joan on fashion! I just like her….God Bless and keep you J.

  • Hi, gulianna, I was diagnost with breast cancer early this year; I tested positive for the BRCA1 gene, I never though to be one of the victims of this horrible decease. I had a double mastectomy 9 chemotherapy sessions I lost my long beautiful hair and even though I cought my Cancer at early stage my treatment has been very aggressive I can say right now I am one of the lucky ones to survive!!!! Keep strong and positive. Good luck to you.

  • Fertility treatments have been known to cause cancer, so I don’t whether saying IVF saved her life is appropriate.
    They could have just adopted or used a surrogate.
    Wish all the best to her.

  • Giuliana and Bill,
    You will get through this, breast cancer is a fight to be sure, but it is not a death sentence like we use to hear it was. I have been through it twice. You tend to find a new place in your own skin and work to stay healthy. You can do it girl!!!
