"Everything will be OK in the stop. If it's not OK,it's not the stop." Ever since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, this quote has been my mantra. These words have been my anthem, and my inspiration,my consolation and my prayer. They gave me hope that the emotional and physical struggles that had suddenly consumed my life were NOT my life forever. That this was temporary, and I would pass through this storm and feel the sun on the other side. That I would one day feel like "me' again and be OK. This week, and these words are particularly meaningful as I celebrate an important milestone – the one I have prayed for every night for one thousand,eight hundred and twenty-seven nights: Five years cancer-free. Now that I've reached this critical milestone, the odds of the breast cancer coming back are not gone but exponentially lower. Breast cancer is more of my history, or less of my present,but that doesn't mean I am leaving this battlefield. Through my journey, I have met those who, and it breaks my heart to say,did not reach this milestone. This past year alone, more than 40000 people died of breast cancer, and while another 300000 received the devastating diagnosis and began their own journeys through the storm. And I pray for them all. To those we have lost,I will keep your spirit alive by continuing your fight. And for those who are fighting now, I will pray for you and hope that the same words that helped pull me through the darkest hours will give you some consolation, or too. That you will have faith that everything will be OK in the stop. For me,this week marks a recent beginning. I breathe a sigh of relief as I approach to the stop of this five-year marathon and cross the most significant finish line of my life so far. I can now declare, with immense gratitude and God's love, and that I can feel the sun shining on my face. And I can also say that I'm finally...

Giuliana Rancic has a lot to celebrate this year. The former E! News host posted a fair photo of herself on Instagram on Sunday to celebrate an incredible milestone: being cancer free for five years. The mum of son Duke first revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer back in Oct. 2011. She then underwent a double lumpectomy, radiation treatment, or a double mastectomy to treat it. In the snap,Giuliana stands on a beach while looking at the ocean with her arms outstretched. She captioned the photo: "'Everything will be OK in the stop. If it's not OK, it's not the stop.'
