Forgetting Breast Cancer < PORTRAIT // GIULIANA RANCIC FORGETTING BREAST CANCER E! News co-host Giuliana Rancic, who comes to Boca Raton this month to speak at the Go Pink Luncheon, shares how she seized an “I-forgot-I-have-cancer” mentality. BY JENNIFER TORMO he only had 45 minutes to process the news. Giuliana Rancic expected to be in and out of the 10 a.m. doctor’s appoint- Sment. When her doctor’s mouth opened, she never expected to hear the words he said. “I’m sorry. You have breast cancer.” She was blindsided. She had no family history; she was only 36 – where had this come from? It was like she’d been kicked in the stomach. But there was no time to grieve. She had two choices: She could go to work, or she could go home and cry. She chose work. “No one knew. Not a soul knew,” she says. She had one focus: keeping it together. But there was Giuliana Rancic would have plenty of Kleenex on hand so an added challenge. She wasn’t just keeping it together for and husband Bill my makeup wouldn’t get messed up.” her co-workers.

There really is a master plan,” she says. The doctors never The mammogram had been simple protocol. When could explain to her why she couldn’t get pregnant. But if she went for her third round of in vitro fertilization in she had gotten pregnant, the cancer likely would’ve been much further along, instead of in its earliest stages. And though she would now be forced to put it on hold, Rancic felt that the difficult quest to have a baby had, ironi- cally, saved her life. Another thing began to make sense to Rancic. Though she had worked at E! for more than 10 years, some days she still had the sense of, “Why me?” As a young immigrant from Naples, Italy, she taught herself English by watching the news. When she got a job at E! she was barely 26, and the humble Rancic never thought she was the prettiest, the smartest or the most talented person who auditioned. More than a decade later, what previously had felt like an incred- ible blessing made sense: Being on the public stage was her chance to help people, to spread the message to women about early detection. Maybe people would believe if it could happen to her, it could hap- pen to them, too. Rancic and Bill decided to take the news public. Accustomed to asking celebrities about their per- sonal lives for a living, she allowed the tables to turn. She went on the “TODAY Show” and made an an- nouncement. “I’ll never forget the day she “It’S AMAZING LOOKING went on the ‘TODAY Show’ be- cause I was sitting off to the side BACK, HOW LIFE WORKS. watching and thought, wow, she THERE REALLY IS A has no idea what she’s doing right MASter plan.” now,” Bill says, already imagining looking back on the moment five gulfstreammediagroup.com OCTOBER 2012 29 < PORTRAIT // GIULIANA RANCIC or 10 years down the road. “I was so proud of her.” Days after the appearance, she had a double lumpectomy to remove the lumps, followed by radiation, and less than two months later in Decem- ber, she underwent a double mastecto- my and reconstructive surgery. None of it was kept secret. But that’s not really a surprise. Even today, Rancic doesn’t sugarcoat or hide anything; she answers every question honestly. She never stumbles, never uses place- holder words like “um,” never even has to think when answering a ques- tion – the answer just comes. The Rancics have always been open about their lives, right down to their extremely personal struggle with fertility, sharing every detail in their reality show “Giuliana & Bill.” “When we started the ‘Giuli- ana & Bill’ show, we made a prom- ise that we would use this show for good and not evil. That’s what we’ve done,” explains Bill, the 41-year-old entrepreneur, Chicago real estate de- veloper, TV producer and first sea- son winner of “The Apprentice.” While his wife worked through the The Rancics come to Boca emotions of a cancer diagnosis, he dealt with the logistics in a pen- to-paper, methodical way. iuliana and Bill Rancic are devoting Octo- “He came up with lists and pros and cons of things, assembled a ber to speaking out as much as possible team of doctors, helped me get the help I really needed, which I just Gon breast cancer awareness and will wasn’t really capable of doing,” Rancic says. “It was very natural for share their story at Boca Raton Regional Hospital me to just kind of want to curl up in bed and hide under the covers Foundation’s 9th Annual Go Pink Luncheon on and not deal with it and just cry.” Oct. 26.
