s/o re: Giuliana's announcement

What did you think of her method of announcing her breast cancer?  Is there a way you would have liked her to do it differently?

At first I wasn't sure.. but aside from announcing it on E! News, I thought it worked.  I mean it would have been strange for her to be on E! News and all of a sudden make an announcement.  I'm sure she's not really in any emotional state to be making a lot of appearances (I assume she hasn't).

If she responds well to treatment, I wonder what would be a likely time frame for her returning to her show?

    This is something I 100% can't judge or question.  It's such a personal issue and for a public person to have to deal with it and decide if and how to announce it...  they have to do it however it feels right for them.

    I'm definitely not judging at all.. I actually really like Giuliana, my heart was already breaking for her with her IVF struggle and I was devastated to hear about the cancer.  I was first thinking it was odd to announce it on a news show, but then it made sense to me.

    first - it is going to get out.  She has a pretty public life. At least this way, she is in charge.

    second - it is great to raise awareness no matter how you do it.  If it makes one more person get a mammogram and find their own cancer early - that is great.

    In a post-interview, she said she knew young girls looked up to her and watched her on TV so she wanted to use that as a platform to raise awareness/action.
