E! News Host Rancic Has Breast Cancer

Last time we checked in on Giuliana Rancic, the E! News host and wife of The Apprentice winner Bill Rancic was partnering on a restaurant with Lettuce Entertain You scions RJ and Jerrod Melman in the former Ben Pao space. We had no idea she was undergoing in vitro fertilization treatments to have a baby and, based on her frame, probably would have suggested she put some carbs in her body before wombfruit.

Rancic's desire to have a child may have saved her life. A mammogram revealed she has breast cancer. The Rancics made the announcement this morning. Rancic further elaborated on the discovery on Today.

Rancic still plans on undergoing IVF treatment after her breast cancer treatment is completed. "I truly believe that God was looking out for me… This baby will have saved my life."

Or the doctor who insisted she have the mammogram before moving forward with future IVF treatments.
