Giuliana Rancic Merayakan 5 Tahun Bebas Kanker

Alumni dari E! News, Giuliana Rancic, menggunakan Instagram untuk mengekspresikan kebahagiannya di akhir tahun ini. Dengan foto bernuansa emas, sang host terlihat memeluk lautan luas di sebuah pantai. Captionnya yang panjang serta emosional menekankan satu hal: 'five years cancer-free.'

 

"Everything will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end." Ever since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, this quote has been my mantra. These words have been my anthem, my inspiration, my comfort and my prayer. They gave me hope that the emotional and physical struggles that had suddenly consumed my life were NOT my life forever. That this was temporary, and I would pass through this storm and feel the sun on the other side. That I would one day feel like "me’ again and be OK. This week, these words are especially meaningful as I celebrate an important milestone – the one I have prayed for every night for one thousand, eight hundred and twenty-seven nights: Five years cancer-free. Now that I’ve reached this critical milestone, the odds of the breast cancer coming back are not gone but exponentially lower. Breast cancer is more of my history, less of my present, but that doesn't mean I am leaving this battlefield. Through my journey, I have met those who, it breaks my heart to say, did not reach this milestone. This past year alone, more than 40,000 people died of breast cancer, while another 300,000 received the devastating diagnosis and began their own journeys through the storm. And I pray for them all. To those we have lost, I will keep your spirit alive by continuing your fight. And for those who are fighting now, I will pray for you and hope that the same words that helped pull me through the darkest hours will give you some comfort, too. That you will have faith that everything will be OK in the end. For me, this week marks a new beginning. I breathe a sigh of relief as I come to the end of this five-year marathon and cross the most significant finish line of my life so far. I can now declare, with immense gratitude and God's love, that I can feel the sun shining on my face. And I can also say that I'm finally...OK.

'Everything will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.' Di awal captionnya, istri dari Bill Rancic ini mengaku bahwa quote tersebut telah menjadi mantra, inspirasi, dan doanya sejak ia didiagnosis dengan kanker payudara pada tahun 2011. Bintang dari reality show Giuliana and Bill ini secara terbuka menunjukkan masalah kesehatannya dan proses yang ia lalui, terutama masalah kehamilan. Setelah menjalani beberapa usaha bayi tabung dan keguguran, Giulana akhirnya mengikuti tes mamogram sebelum melanjutkan proses bayi tabung yang ke-3. Saat itulah kankernya terdeteksi. Ia menjalani operasi masektomi pada tahun 2011.
