Now that E! personality Giuliana Rancic has the upper hand in her battle with breast cancer, she and husband Bill are back to focusing on a goal they set before she underwent a double mastectomy in December: having a baby.

"We are definitely having to explore other options," the red carpet staple, flanked by her Apprentice winner hubby, said on The Today Show Monday. "We absolutely want a child. As far as getting pregnant myself, with the medication I'm starting ... it's probably not going to happen any time soon.”

E! beauty Giuliana Rancic bares her soul in a new interview with Glamour, opening up about the fallout of the double mastectomy she underwent in December as a means to an end in her battle with breast cancer.

The red carpet staple admitted that there were tough times in the wake of the surgery, getting used to her new body.

Giuliana Rancic is a fighter and after battling breast cancer with a double mastectomy, the TV host says she doesn't want pity and considers herself lucky to have found it when she did.

"People come up and they have sadness in their eyes, and I think, at a time when everyone’s looking at me with pity, I look at myself as lucky. I think I just dodged the biggest bullet of my life,” Giuliana told Michigan Avenue magazine in its January/February issue.

“Maybe in some way I’m a little bit of a messenger. Maybe God knew that I have a big mouth, that I’m a loud Italian chick, that I wouldn’t hide anything. It now starts to make sense to me why I think I got the cool job, because I think HE knew I would do some cool stuff with it.”

Giuliana, 37, said she received an outpouring of support from people all over the world, including Indonesia, South Africa, Canada and Australia.

“I felt this over-whelming love and prayers coming from all over the world. I think because breast cancer touches so many people, when someone hears you have it, they just shower you with love. The one word I always saw in all the messages was strong. You’re so strong, stay strong, be strong — when you hear something enough, you start believing it," she said.

"I was like, I’m strong, I’m strong, I’m strong. That’s what helped me get through a lot of this.”

With the help of her husband Bill Rancic, Giuliana says she wants to do some sort of Make-a-Wish-like foundation for breast cancer patients.

"So these women can enjoy the things I get to enjoy. Everything from ‘I’ve never owned a pair of Louboutins’ to ‘I’ve never met Ryan Gosling,’ she said.

"Bill actually came up with the cutest name: Fab-u-wish.”

Giuliana Rancic is ready to have her surgery.

The E! News host told her co-worker Ryan Seacrest that Monday, December 12 will be her last day at work before she has her double mastectomy.

“I’ll be on E! News Monday and then I’ll be out of your hair for two weeks,” she said on Ryan’s KIIS FM 102.7 radio show Tuesday morning.

Giuliana Rancic, who announced she’s battling breast cancer in October, told the Today Show on Monday early treatments were ineffective, so she’s going to have a double mastectomy.

“Instead of radiation, I’m going to go ahead and move forward,“ Rancic -- flanked by her husband Bill -- told Ann Curry about the procedure, in which both of her breasts will be surgically removed.

Rancic, who’s been public about her desire to have a child, said alternative treatments would have put her into early menopause, but that’s not the factor spurring the bold decision.
