Just three days ago E! News and Fashion Police host Giuliana Rancic announced that she has breast cancer. She underwent double lumpectomy surgery on Wednesday and is doing well.
Bill Rancic spoke via satellite today with co-host Ann Curry during the Today Show, discussing Giuliana’s health following surgery and the difficult year she has had between unsuccessful IVF’s and now cancer.
Bill said, “It was kind of a long day. 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.”
He reported that the surgery took two hours. “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.”
Rancic admitted that it was an emotional day but was upbeat about the future, “We’re hoping that we get a good report tomorrow, God willing, then it’s radiation and we will kick off 2012 with a new outlook on life.”
The television host plans to return to work next week. Watch the Today Show video below:
