"You probably heard the sad news this week about E! correspondent Giuliana Rancic&amp;#x27;s recent breast cancer diagnosis. She&amp;#x27;s young, has no family history, and the diagnosis basically came out of left field. A lot of people are wondering if they should get checked too. Do you? Giuliana Rancic almost didn&amp;#x27;t find out she had breast cancer. One of the doctors she was seeing for fertility treatment, however, encouraged her to have a mammogram, just to be sure that she didn&amp;#x27;t have breast cancer before starting a new round of IVF treatment. &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#x27;t prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old, like I&amp;#x27;d been told,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong. ... I couldn&amp;#x27;t believe it--36 years old, no family history? I couldn&amp;#x27;t believe it.&amp;quot; Experts are quick to note that Rancic&amp;#x27;s experience is rare, but, I&amp;#x27;ll be honest, it&amp;#x27;s enough to prompt me (at age 33) to want to get a mammogram, even though I know the recommended age to begin screening isn&amp;#x27;t until age 40. Here&amp;#x27;s the thing: You are your best health advocate, so if you&amp;#x27;re worried, then talk to your doctor and get checked no matter what the &amp;quot;guidelines&amp;quot; are (by the way, a new study hinted that breast cancer screening could begin as early as age 25!). And, remember to notify your doc if you notice any changes in your breast (lumps, pain, lesions, you name it). We&amp;#x27;re rooting for you Giuliana! Gals, tell me: Does this news make you think about getting screened earlier? P.S. Could this common pill help stop breast cancer from spreading? And, 5 steps every woman needs to reduce her risk...
