This week I was catching up on one of my favorite shows Giuliana & Bill Rancic. Giuliana in the recent episodes has been fighting her battle with Breast Cancer. Giuliana & Bill were trying to have a baby when her cancer was discovered. The time and emotional stress that both Giuliana and Bill went through for both trying to have a baby to dealing with cancer is unimaginable. However, watching the episodes truly shows others how inspirational Guliana & Bill are. Bill is extremely supportive and having a support system such as Bill during a cancer diagnosis is imperative.
When Giuliana received her results from her first surgery she had found out that the cancer was not completely gone. With that news Giuliana and Bill decided to go ahead with a double Mastectomy. This was a difficult decision, but in the end was the best for Giuliana. Watching this emotional journey of Giuliana truly made me think how strong of a women she is, and how strong women are when faced with cancer. Giuliana was still determined to have a child; however, in one of the most recent episode she found out that she would need to wait 3-5 years before having a child due to her health. Estrogen can spread cancer cells rapidly which would be too risky for her at that time.
Watching this episode I became emotional thinking how after all of the surgeries and both emotional and physical pain, now Giuliana was told she cannot have children; a dream of hers. However, as the episode continues an opportunity arises where Giuliana and Bill were offered an opportunity to have a gestational surrogate; where a women would carry their baby. After contemplation Giuliana & Bill decided to go ahead with this option and they now are pregnant!!! I was so happy for them. Watching there show makes you feel as though you are part of their lives; even though I have never met them. Giuliana and Bill are inspirational.
