Looking fit and having one of the most interesting careers, Giuliana Rancic was all about living a year of fun this 2011. Planning to undergo IVF treatment to conceive a baby, Rancic was determined to have a child with husband, Bill Rancic even through her busy life as the co-host of E! News.

However, all plans came to a standstill this mid-October as Rancic's mammogram test revealed that the 36 year old host was diagnosed with early stages of breast cancer.

At a young age, Rancic was shocked with the life-threatening news and did not expect it coming. Not able to continue with her IVF treatment, Giuliana is still determined to have a full recovery and would still like to be a mother one day. Coming out to the public wasn't easy after receiving the "punch-in-the-stomach", but kudos to her for being a good role-model and encouraging young women all over the world to take up early breast cancer tests.

In fact,

• Every 1 out of 19 women is affected by breast cancer in Malaysia.
• Breast cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer among women worldwide
• Early detection of breast cancer is 98% curable
• Chinese women seem to be at greatest risk, following by Indians and Malays
• More than 1 MILLION women are afflicted with breast cancer per year

Now that you have the facts, don't be ignorant. Make an appointment for a check up if you are over the age of 30!
