News: Giuliana Rancic


We're all aware of October and Breast Cancer Awareness. We're cute doing it all in pink, and show our support by wearing the pink ribbon.

So when someone as famous as Giuliana Rancic ( E! online presenter and reality TV star) is diagnosed with breast cancer, during this month of awareness, it comes as a real shock to all of us. I mean, she's so young, right? 

At 36 years old, Giuliana didn't think it was necessary to go for a mammogram.  We're all told that from the age of 40 we need to go for yearly check-ups, but until we hit that age, we don't bother much.  Especially when you have no family history - as is the case with Giuliana.

Look - breast cancer at a young age (like in your late teens or in your twenties) is not common, but it does happen. So why would you take the risk? Know the signs, know your body and check regularly. 

In Giuliana's words: " I think a lof of us think we're invincible. We have to start putting ourselves on the to do list."
