Giuliana Rancic: Finding the Light at the End of the Tunnel

Entertainment journalist and breast cancer survivor Giuliana Rancic shared her cancer journey before she presented at the 2019 Extraordinary Healer Award for Oncology Nursing.

Best known for her work on E! News, Giuliana Rancic revealed her ability to find the light at the end of the tunnel following her breast cancer journey.

Before the 2019 Extraordinary Healer Award for Oncology Nursing, Rancic shared on her cancer journey, assuring other women that they are not alone. “Something that helped me were the four words, ‘This too, shall pass’. With every little tough moment I was having, I would keep falling back on that. Just knowing that it’s going to get better, knowing that it’s OK to feel scared, it’s OK to be sad, it’s OK to wake up in the middle of the night and be terrified. It’s so normal and so many people feel the way you do.”

Cancer-free for seven years, she also discussed the hardest years of her journey with breast cancer. “It was very hard for me to feel like I could go back to a life without thinking about breast cancer 100 times a day,” Rancic said. “And I’m living proof that it can happen.”
