In this week’s episode, we spoke with entertainment journalist Giuliana Rancic, who discussed her breast cancer journey and how, at the end of the day, she continued to tell herself, “This, too, shall pass.”

After many years of interviewing celebrities on E! News and the red carpet, and while also starring in her own reality tv show, Giuliana Rancic was faced with one of the most challenging moments in her life: a breast cancer diagnosis amidst trying to undergo her third round of in vitro fertilization.

While many supporters continually told her to be strong throughout her journey, Giuliana also told herself one key thing to help her get through the tough times — this too shall pass.

Now cancer-free, Giuliana shared her experience, inspiring many at the Extraordinary Healer Award for Oncology Nursing Award ceremony. Before the event, we sat down with Giuliana to learn more about her journey and how oncology nurses changed her life.
