After a routine mammogram doctors found a lump which was revealed to be cancerous and the TV star is now undergoing treatment to beat the disease.
Janice has already vowed to make a full recovery and has asked fans not to feel sorry for her situation.
She told Daily Mail Online: “Just two weeks ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, it’s hard for me to say this, but I have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
"It’s still quite shocking. Today I got very scared … I just get very scared and it hit me. But I am not gonna let that define me, the fear. I’m going to get through this, I’ll be just fine kiddo.

"Don’t feel sorry for me, this is not a pity party, I’m Janice Dickinson and I’m gonna stick around for a long, long time, you ain’t getting rid of me yet.”
She also recalled the moment she was told she had the disease and how she knew before the doctor told her the news, saying:
“The doctor noticed it immediately. She said, ‘This doesn’t feel right.’ And she said, 'We have to be real comprehensive with this and have it checked out.’

"I’m always optimistic, initially when the doctor found the lump it hurt, it became quite painful when you touch it, that’s the point when I knew this is serious, when the doctor touched this little lump in my right breast, about the size of a pea, and I went, 'Bingo, I have cancer.’ ”
Janice says how now her main concern is for her fiancé and two children, Nathan, 28 and daughter Savannah, 22.
She added: “I became fearful for my two children, my loving fiancé Rocky, we have a grandson, aged four, his name is baby Aby. I just thought they are gonna flip out.”
