Giuliana Rancic to Undergo Double Mastectomy (VIDEO)

Six weeks after revealing she has breast cancer, Giuliana Rancic says she now plans to undergo a double mastectomy.

The E! host appeared with her husband Bill on the “Today” show Monday morning, and told Anne Curry she plans to have both breasts surgically removed and then reconstructed.

Rancic underwent a double lumpectomy in late October, but the procedure failed to clear the cancer.

She explained, “I have options. I’m choosing to get the mastectomy because I believe it will save my life.”

Rancic admits being worried about the physical results when she first considered the procedure, but was immediately reassured by her husband.

“But Bill told me, ‘I don’t care about the physical results. I just want you around for another 50 years. I need you healthy. I need you as my wife. I need you as a mother to our kids,’” she said.

And although she’s still “scared of the unknown,” she’s remaining positive through it all: ”I’ll be able to say that I survived something major and it’s made me stronger. I will be a better woman for it.”

    I was at the Breast Center when you were there and I was curious as to what type of tumor you had and was it in both breasts or in one? I had a lumpectomy also and because of the type of tumor I am still undecided as to which way to go as I was told that I would need chemo even if I had a double mastectomy. With chemo, radiation & pill, the percentages of it returning are ll to l3% and was told it would be the same with the mastectomy. Will you have chemo after?

    By the way, all the luck to you.
