Tomorrow, the couple will learn if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, and will commence a six-week radiation treatment course.
Rancic said he and his wife will look to 2012 with “a new outlook on life and we’re ready to take on the world.”
After the news of her cancer broke, Rancic received a deluge of messages from fans of support and sympathy. Bill Rancic thanked her fans, saying the support has “definitely helped Giuliana get through this.”
He said that Giuliana is recuperating at home after the two-hour surgery.
Appearing on the ABC show Monday, viewers were expecting Rancic to announce a pregnancy since she and her husband have been trying to conceive for over a year. It was because of a mammogram during the in vitro fertilization treatments that the cancer was caught in such early stages.
Despite her cancer diagnosis, Rancic says that it will not prevent further efforts to have a child.
“I still want this baby… because this baby saved my life,” said the 37-year-old. “I truly feel like God was looking after me… If I had gotten pregnant later down the line, I could have been a lot sicker.”
Bill Rancic added, “I think our story has a happy ending and that’s a good thing,” while on NBC. “It’s very treatable, it’s 100 percent treatable when you catch it early and that’s what the main message is I think. You’ve got to get after this thing sooner rather than later.”
