Giuliana Rancic revealed on The Today Show yesterday that she’s battling breast cancer. I don’t really follow celebrity news since it doesn’t really affect my daily life but this one hit home for me since news of cancer is beginning to permeate my daily conversations.

Friends are getting checked. Others refuse to (they don’t want to know or they think they are too young). Family members are battling the disease. Others are blogging about it as a way to get through it and get support.

If nothing else, make an appointment and get checked. We’re not too young to get it. It’s better to know and catch it early than be in a worse position later. I wish cancer didn’t exist in our lives, one way or another, but until it’s history, let’s be proactive and do something about it while we can.
