Giuliana Rancic is having a double mastectomy next Tuesday and behind her strong and cheerful demeanor, she admitted exclusively to RadarOnline.com that she is "scared" about the surgery, but she adds, “I am going to survive.”

"I think I'm definitely scared of the unknown," Giuliana,37,said about her upcoming breast cancer surgery. "I'm scared because I've never done this before, but I have Bill with me," she said about her husband who was with her at our interview at the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles Thursday.

The duo said they draw strength from each other, but that what really helps them is looking forward to the future without cancer.

"We have a finish line," Bill, 40, said. "That's what New Year's is. Let's be done with this and start off 2012 on the right foot. This New Year's is going to be more meaningful than any New Year's of the past."

Giuliana and Bill are hosting the NIVEA Kiss Platform on New Year's Eve in Times Square where one lucky couple is going to get to spend the evening celebrating with them at the biggest party in the country.

While Giuliana said she hasn't picked out her outfit yet, she did say that her new breasts (she's having reconstructive surgery the same time as her mastectomy) will not be double Ds.

"They might be a couple of double Fs," Bill joked.

As RadarOnline.com has previously reported, Giuliana’s IVF doctor discovered she had early stage breast cancer during a routine mammogram while she was undergoing infertility treatments.

While doctors initially performed a double lumpectomy in mid-October in the hopes it would get all the cancer, it returned in both breasts; Giuliana choose to undergo a double mastectomy, rather than undergo another lumpectomy, radiation, and anti-estrogen therapy which would put her into early menopause. She also has said she didn’t want the anxiety of having to go in for mammograms every six months and wondering if the cancer would return.

While many women are diagnosed with breast cancer, each person's experience is unique. G is speaking to her experience and her choices, Reconstructive breast surgery is not the same as a getting a boob job..keep smilin G. and be positive.

Best of luck, G. I will be thinking of you on Tuesday. Also, thank you for bringing breast cancer out in the open. The more the public knows, the better we can fight it.

It is unfortunate she has to battle this, but good God, why run around to all media outlets to tell your story. Sure it may help others, but all this?

Maybe she is trying to educate people on the importance of breast exams. Why knock her for it. I am sure she is also trying to get ahead of the story before the papparazzi start stalking her and her husband.

She makes a living gushing over celebrities and appears to be a "wannabe" higher profile celebrity by hitting all the media outlets with her story! She also failed miserably on "Are you smarter than a fifth grader"!
