Giuliana Rancic Is a New Woman

(I tried to give this post an optimistic title.)

Giuliana Rancic—who was diagnosed with breast cancer in mid-October—finally went through with it Tuesday evening. That’s right: she had a double mastectomy.

Rancic underwent a double lumpectomy in October, but the surgery wasn’t completely successful. Ugh, I can’t imagine the grief of making that kind of decision. (On the bright side, she apparently opted for reconstructive surgery, so maybe we’ll see her with an amped-up chest soon. Yay!)

Rancic has remained all smiles and was, according to husband Bill, “cracking jokes” soon after the surgery.

E! reports:

“G is doing really well,” Bill exclusively tells E! News. “Her surgery lasted about four hours and the doctors were very pleased with the result.”

Man. Giuliana is one tough cookie.
