Janice continued, "I'm always optimistic.

The former America's Top Model judge went on to admit that she was worried about how her family would react to the unfortunate news. "I became fearful for my two children, [Nathan and Savannah], my loving fiancé Rocky, we have a grandson, aged four, his name is baby Aby. I just thought, 'They are gonna flip out.'"

However, despite her diagnosis, Janice is staying strong and positive throughout this difficult process.

"I don't know what the doctors really told me because it goes in one ear out the other, that's how I roll. I know that my fiancé is a doctor of the highest caliber," she added. "I have four specialists, I've been prodded and poked on the inside and out and I can tell you I'm very, very lucky."
